The rumor started when a local newspaper reported that Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga were meeting in Dubai to discuss a potential deal between Raila and President William Ruto.
According to the report, the meeting was to negotiate terms for a possible alliance or unity government. However, Pauline Njoroge has set the record straight.
Njoroge stated that Uhuru Kenyatta is not in Dubai but is actually in the United States. She criticized those spreading the rumor, saying, "In the last few weeks, UDA bloggers have been claiming that Uhuru is in Dubai.
I have seen there is a sponsored story on the same in one of the dailies today." She pointed out that Uhuru is about 12,000 kilometers away from Dubai, emphasizing that he is not in the city where the supposed meeting was to take place.
The blogger's response is significant because it challenges the idea that Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga are secretly working together in Dubai.
Njoroge argued that the claims were not only false but also misleading. She added, "Last time I checked, there was no place called Dubai in the U.S where the former president has been residing in the last few weeks."
Furthermore, Njoroge dismissed the idea that Uhuru had funded Raila’s trip to Dubai. She argued that Raila Odinga is an experienced politician who does not need financial support from Uhuru for such a trip.
According to her, it is unreasonable to think that Raila would need funding from Uhuru for his travel. She said, "Raila traveling to Dubai has got nothing to do with Uhuru.
It’s crazy for anyone to imagine that the former Prime Minister has no mind of his own to make his own independent decisions or business of his own to attend to out there."
The rumors about Uhuru Kenyatta’s involvement in Raila Odinga’s trip have stirred significant political discussions.
Some reports have suggested that Uhuru might be trying to influence Raila’s political moves, especially after Raila’s recent hesitation to join President Ruto's government of national unity.
Kileleshwa MCA Robert Alai has been vocal about these issues. On July 19, 2024, Alai claimed that Uhuru Kenyatta was attempting to interfere with Raila Odinga's political decisions.
Alai suggested that the former president and Raila were meeting in Dubai to discuss a possible alliance with President Ruto. This claim added fuel to the speculation about the secret meetings and possible political maneuvers.
However, Pauline Njoroge’s denial challenges these claims and aims to clear the air regarding the supposed meeting. Her strong rebuttal is an effort to combat what she describes as false narratives being spread by certain bloggers and media outlets.
Njoroge's response is not only a defense of Uhuru Kenyatta but also a critique of the misinformation being circulated.
