On Thursday while in Kakamega to meet party delegates from all the constituencies in the county, Raila revived the Eurobond debate as questioned the silence of Jubilee Government over the matter for months.
The ODM party leader challenged the government to account for the lost money that they had to wait until the Auditor General reported that the money was missing.
The Auditor General had revealed that Ksh 215 billion from the controversial Eurobond not accounted for two years after the government claimed the cash was allocated to Ministries for development purposes.
“When I spoke about Eurobond theft, they said I was just making noise for political mileage, now, the Auditor General has let the cat out of the bag, can they explain where the money went,” said Odinga.
“Why is it difficult for them to account for the Eurobond money and explain how it was spent? Why?”
“When I wrote to the Governor of Central Bank to allow me visit his office to know how the money was spent, he wrote back to say it was a bank, client matter, not a public matter,” stated Odinga.
“Today, every Kenyan has a burden to bear. Even the unborn children are indebted because of the greed by people in Jubilee government.”
“Kenyans have suffered enough in the last four years. They have stolen and eaten everything. Nothing is left for the common man. The only medicine to this mess is to deny Jubilee another term to auction the country,” he added.
“They lied to us that the proceeds from Eurobond were allocated to Ministries, the Auditor General’s report says there is no proof that the money was received by any ministry, this is theft.”
