By Lilian Osiema For Citizen Digital
Published on 30 October 2016
Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) chief Raila Odinga now says the government is involved in yet another scandal, this one allegedly costing Kenyans Ksh162 billion.
Speaking at Dadra Village in West Ugenya during the burial ceremony of Mama Joyce Aol, who is the mother of veteran journalist David Ohito, Raila stated that SICPA Solutions has pocketed billions of shillings through revenue collected on imports.

The former PM states that the firm – which he says is mandated to monitor the import of counterfeit goods – is currently being investigated for shady deals by the Brazilian government, an issue he claims has led to the impeachment of Brazil’s president.
Raila, who has over the past few months blown the lid on numerous graft scandals in the country, says that the activities of SICPA Solutions indicate that another mega scandal is waiting to happen.

Nominated MP Oburu Odinga echoed Raila’s remarks, adding that it was peculiar that the Government would pay an international firm to carry out duties that local authorities have been mandated with.
Specifically, Oburu pointed out that Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) and Kenya Counterfeit Forensic Authority (KCFA) were carrying out the same role as SICPA Solutions.
Dr Oburu accused the government of working hard to bury the skeletons of the emerging scandal, adding that state officials were busy doctoring reports about the company.
The burial was attended by Mama Ida Odinga, Police Spokesman Charles Owino, Siaya Senator James Orengo, governor Cornel Rasanga, MPs Opiyo Wandayi and David Ochieng among others.

Hyo wakati wake constitution was bad
But let me taja for you some of his achievements
He is the most imprisoned mp in kenya .....was imprisoned by moi many times for Urging multi partism democracy ...he brought multi partism to kenya
He teamed up with Kibaki in 2002 to remove Kanus Uhuru kenyatta and Moi from Power
In 2005 Raila Uhuru and Ruto came together to Form ODM Party
The then opposition party to mwai Kibakis PNU party They campaigned for a referendum and won 68% votes for a New constitution that brought about Counties in kenya
Shortly in 2006 Raila Odinga and ruto Disagrees with Uhuru Kenyatta and musalia mudavadi which led to the break up of ODM INTO
ODM - RAILAS PARTY AND RUTO
AND
ODM-K Uhuru Kenyattas party and Musalia
In 2007 ODM-K dissolved and joined PNU party For kibakis re election
And ODM party this led to 2007 elections which were violent after Raila allegedly won But ECKs Kivuitu declared Kibaki president at Midnight on 27th december 2007 he was sworn into office at night- SHAME
They finally agreed to Form a Coalition govt -Nusu Mkate govt in 2008 wea
Kibaki was president
Raila Prime Minister
Kalonzo Vice president
Musalia Mudavadi Deputy prime minister
Uhuru kenyatta Deputy Prime minister
Raila and Kalonzo Hated Each other since it wasnt clear who was above the other.....
In 2008 most PNU mps campaigned for ICC to intervene in Kenyas case
Raila Was against ICC interference in Kenya
But when the Louis Moreno Ocampo 6 were Declared they realised Raila was right....
Raila discovered Ruto was stealing Mau land -mau summit escarpment wea most of kenyas rainfalk comes from and he also exposed a maize scandal under Ruto who at the time was his Deputy this Led to Raila Ruto fall out and since Ruto and Uhuru were in the hague ......they became friends
Raila and Kalonzo came together in their individual parties Wiper and ODM to Form CORD
Uhuru and Ruto came together in their own parties TNA and Wiper To form jubillee alliance party
Which in turn won 2013 elections
Railas fails ....
He was Mp for Kibera for 30yrs
He Led kenya into somalia war
Railas achivements
Nys scandal
Ruto maize scandal
Eurobond scandal
Chickengate -iebc
Afya house scandal
Underground water scandal muranga
Multi partism
