Oburu Odinga Has Been Appointed Special Adviser

Oburu Odinga has been appointed Special Adviser on Economic Empowerment and Sustainable Livelihoods in the Office of the President.

Jaoko Oburu Odinga is a nephew of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga. This was a coveted government position. So who is this Jaoko Oburu Odinga? Jaoko Oburu Odinga is the eldest son of Siaya Senator Dr. Oburu Oginga and the nephew of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga. He will hold this position for three years. Prior to his appointment, Jaoko served as an Investment and Resource Mobilization Advisor for Siaya County since 2013. He has also been politically active, notably leading youth campaigns for Raila Odinga and considering parliamentary seats in Langata and Bondo. He holds a bachelor's degree in accounting and finance from Saint Mary's University. "I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to H.E. President William Samoei Ruto for giving me the opportunity to serve Kenyans by appointing me as Special Adviser on Economic Empowerment and Sustainable Livelihoods. Thank you, Your Excellency," Jaoko said. With this expression of gratitude, everyone can judge what to expect from Jaoko. While hinting that Raila may have influenced his appointment, Jaoko thanked the ODM party leader for the trust placed in him. Not all Kenyans congratulated him. There was also sharp criticism of the appointment. "This is the kind of appointment that would have been emotionally intelligent to remain silent about and let others speak and make the announcement?" "It's not William Ruto. It's the members of Generation Z who sacrificed their lives fighting for a better country, only for your opportunistic uncle to exploit our sweat for his own benefit. Eat while it's still good, because the storm is coming." "Of course he's your uncle. Nepotism must run its course." You said, "Kenyans from all walks of life?" You're right! Brilliant. What's your family again? Or do you represent royalty? Who's here for the poor?" Congratulations! You've worked very hard and gained the necessary experience to deserve such an appointment. Your outstanding performance in both the public and private sectors speaks for itself. I am sure you are the right candidate to advise William Ruto on poverty alleviation. @https://www.tuko.co.ke/politics/586607-jaoko-oburu-william-ruto-appoints-railas-nephew-special-advisor-economic-empowerment/
