The Kenya Kwanza administration has told off Azimio la Umoja One Kenya coalition party leader Raila Odinga over claims that the government-to-government oil importationis a scam.

Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah, who led a number of Kenya Kwanza legislators at a press address on Thursday, termed the alleged dossier as nothing short of hot air and political propaganda.

MP Ichungwa said Mr. Odinga is using the alleged dossier to score cheap political points to resuscitate his dwindling political fortunes and termed the allegations as street rumours and nothing short of hot air.

“What Raila Odinga billed as a dossier is nothing short of hot air, political propaganda, and cheap street rumours. His purported dossier lacked substance and is evidently part of his usual propaganda rumour mills,” Ichung’wah claimed during a media briefing at Parliament buildings.

Ichung’wah said that Raila was using the ‘dossier’ in an attempt to redeem himself politically.

“The entire so-called dossier is nothing but political hogwash cleverly designed to incite Kenyans and resuscitate his fledgling political base that is fast sliding away,” the Kikuyu MP added.

Going further, Ichung’wah refuted Raila’s claims that the Kenya Kwanza government-to-government deal was aimed at driving up the cost of fuel in the country while benefiting some state officials.

He challenged the Opposition chief to produce evidence to prove whether the companies are tax compliant or not. 

“Raila rightfully states Kenya’s Ministry of Energy and Petroleum signed a deal with State-owned petroleum companies in the Middle East. If that is not a government-to-government deal, what else is G-to-G if not a contract signed between a government ministry and a State-owned corporation?” he posed.

“We dare Odinga to table such evidence that these companies are not remitting their taxes,” Ichung’wah added.

Raila had claimed that the President William Ruto-led administration did not sign any agreement with Saudi Arabia, but rather it was signed between the Ministry of Energy and State-owned companies in the Middle East.
