ODM MP Tells Mudavadi, NIS Boss Haji To Resign For Misleading Raila
Caleb Amisi, a Saboti Member of Parliament, has blamed Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi and National Intelligence Service (NIS) Director General Noordin Haji for Raila Odinga’s defeat in the African Union Commission (AUC) chairperson contest.
MP Amisi believes that the two should resign for allegedly misleading the former Kenyan Prime Minister by failing to share intelligence on the odds stacked against him in the tight contest.
“The purpose of NIS is to provide intelligence useful to help the country safeguard her sovereignty and territorial integrity as well as achieve her objectives,” he wrote on X.
“In this AUC campaign, Noordin Haji failed miserably. By now Musalia and Haji should have resigned for lying and subjecting Baba to a loss that he doesn’t deserve!”

He so stated that the two should be held accountable for “lying and subjecting Baba to a loss that he does not deserve.”
Odinga lost the election in a seven-round voting process held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on Saturday.
Odinga won the first two rounds of voting but lost the subsequent rounds against Djibouti’s nominee, Mahamoud Ali Youssouf.
In the first round, he received 20 votes to Mahamoud’s 18, while Richard Randriamandrato of Madagascar received 10 votes.
In the second round, he garnered 22 votes, Mahamoud received 19, and Randriamandrato received 7 votes, as one country abstained.
In the third round, Odinga received 20 votes but lost to Mahamoud, who received 23 votes to take first place.
Mahamoud retained his lead in the fourth round, garnering 25 votes to Raila’s 21. There was one spoilt vote, and one nation abstained.

Meanwhile, political leaders, led by Deputy President Kithure Kindiki, have praised Odinga’s determination in the contest and thanked President William Ruto for backing his candidacy.
