Businessman Oketch Salah has responded to remarks made by EALA MP Winnie Odinga during a recent Citizen TV interview, saying he stands by his claims regarding his alleged final moments with ODM leader Raila Odinga.
In a brief statement, Salah said he had initially chosen to remain silent out of respect for Mama Ida Odinga, whom he described as “Her Excellency the Ambassador, Mama Ida Min Piny from Migori.”
“I watched last night’s interview on Citizen TV with Yvonne Okwara where Winnie spoke about me. Because of the respect I have for Her Excellency the Ambassador, Mama Ida Min Piny from Migori, I chose to remain quiet. That was a deliberate and personal decision,” Salah said.
However, he noted that some of the statements made during the interview required clarification.
“Some of what was said needs clarity. I stand by everything I have said about my last moments with Baba. Those moments were real, painful and lived,” he said.
Salah added that he would address the matter further in a forthcoming interview, without providing details on when or where the response would be made.
His statement comes amid an escalating public exchange following Winnie Odinga’s dismissal of his earlier claims, which she termed false and dangerous, calling for scrutiny of his conduct.
