Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader Oburu Odinga has said he will take legal action over claims that he has been “bought by the State.”
Speaking during an ODM youth meeting in Nairobi, Oburu said he is ready to go to court and challenge those making the allegations to prove them.
“Even if they abuse us, we will keep moving. But someone is saying I have been bought. I will take him to court to explain how much I was paid. I cannot be bought,” he said.
Though Oburu did not say the names of those people, his comments were preceded by allegations made in the past by the ex-Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua that Oburu and the ODM had been cooperating with the government.
Oburu vowed that he would not let such statements slide and stated that the issue was going to court.
