When the Treasury Ministry announced that Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi and Azimio chief Raila Odinga would hold a press briefing at Capitol Hill Square in Nairobi on Monday evening, confusion rippled across the country.
Kenyans were left wondering - who exactly was Odinga standing there as? Was he there as a statesman, a government insider, or simply a curious observer?
His presence blurred the lines between his political influence and any official government role. For some, Odinga's appearance felt deliberate, more than just a casual presence, but rather a calculated statement. Others questioned Mbadi's position at the podium; was he speaking as the Treasury CS or as Mbadi, the seasoned politician?
And if the latter, why was the briefing announced on the government's official platform?
