Many politicians rarely lets the public in to their private
lives especially when it comes to their home but now here is a sneak peak of
how presidential aspirant Raila Odingas house looks like.
Well we all know that Raila Odinga may have eyed State
House for years, but its probably not the house itself that he’s interested in.
In a video ‘tour’ of his house, shot during his Monday morning interview with Radio
Jambo, it’s clear that Raila already enjoys what is arguably a more ‘homely’
house than the one on the hill.
State House comes with power, but no president apart from
Kibaki has ever made it his home. Mzee Kenyatta commuted to Gatundu. Uhuru
lives next door and only moved into State House due to renovations at his own
house. Moi lived and still lives in Kabarnet Gardens.
If Raila is to be president, he will probably also decide to
stick to his Karen home. From this video, it is hard to imagine Mama Ida
choosing the ‘cold’ state house over this.
The house is great with very many oversized rooms, but it’s
understandable knowing the size of delegations regularly hosted here. The
compound is huge and understanding that this is Karen, we don’t want to even start
speculating how much was the cost of land alone.
This video is also a great reminder that when we throw
stones and hurt others in the name of politicians, and then retire to our
bedsitters, we are the fools in this story.
Watch that ‘tour’ below.
