Truth behind trending video of Raila running away from the podium in Kisii.
Yesterday, a video went round indicating that Raila ran away from the podium as soon as he was handed the mic.
This happened in Kisii where it showed Raila running away from a podium three seconds after receiving a microphone from former Kakamega Governor Wycliffe Oparanya, to address mourners in Kisii.
This raised mixed reactions with netizens asking why a body guard could rush to help him climb down the podium, 3 seconds after receiving the micrphone.
However, truth behind trending video is that it was edited. It was a merge between Raila entering the podium to address mourners and leaving the podium while being assisted down.
On why Raila was being helped to climb down the podium, it is established that the podium was unstable hence prompting the men around to help him down.
While in Kisii, Raila addressed the mourners close to seven minutes. He spoke on how Ruto can’t scold him as if he is a child.
He still stood his ground, saying the ‘illegitimate regime’ must vacate office or open the IEBC servers for them to verify the authencity of the August polls.
Raila further questioned on why the government wanted to sell public corporations to private institutions.
He stated,”They want to sell parastals without involving the Parliament. They want to sell even government companies to their own people. We are saying No.”
