ODM leader Raila Odinga has told off critics claiming that the agreement between his party and UDA was meant to betray his supporters.

The ODM chief, who has been compelled to defend his union with Kenya Kwanza, questioned what was wrong with having a handshake.

Odinga was speaking in Simenya, Ugunja, Siaya county during the burial ceremony of Standard Radio Presenter Edward Kwach whom he said was a friend to his late son Fidel Odinga. "There has been a lot of noise, criticism about my decision to have a handshake with President William Ruto.

I want my supporters to know that I would never have a handshake to betray you," he said.
