RAILA snubbed by US Secretary of State, he was NEVER invited to Washington D.C

Former Prime Minister, Raila Odinga, was on Monday snubbed by US Secretary of State John Kerry as he tried to see him at his Washington office.

Instead, sources said Kerry assigned him to his Deputy, William Burns, who will meet him on Tuesday morning.

The PM, who was on his personal trip to Washington to attend his daughter’s graduation which was held on Saturday, tried in vain to book an appointment with Kerry, but his aides told him he is out of town.

But in a more shocking revelation, the source revealed that Raila was never invited by the US Government to attend a conference at Woodrow Wilson International Centre for Scholars.

The source said Raila was invited by American businessmen to explain to them about advantages of investing in Africa particularly Kenya.

He also revealed that the Kenyan ambassador to the US Elkana Odembo, who is cousin to Raila’s wife Mama Ida Odinga, has been sending false information regarding Raila’s trip to the US to the Kenyan media.

“The PM was not invited by the US government. He was here to attend the graduation of his daughter Winnie at Drextel University,” the source said.

“Meeting Burns is like meeting an Assistant Minister in Kenya,” the source added.
