Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Presidential candidate Raila Odinga has finally weighed in on why he rarely uses the 'Kitendawili' phrase in his Azimio la Umoja rallies.
Speaking on Tuesday evening during a joint media interview, Raila said he had not really stopped using his favourite kitendawili phrase but had metamorphosed in his politics.
According to Raila, he doesn't use the phrase more often as he used to do in the past, adding that he only uses Kitendawili riddles when he wants to drive a point home.
Raila also rubbished claims that he rarely uses the phrase because his opponent William Ruto had accused him of using it more often and even nicknamed him 'Bwana Kitendawili'.
"I have not really stopped doing Kitendawili but I have stopped using it more often than I used to do. I used it sometimes when I want to bring a point home. It is not that I don't use it because some people accused and called me Bwana Kitendawili. I have transitioned and metamorphosed in politics," stated Raila.

At the same time, Raila's running mate Martha Karua also weighed in on her viral "Haroo, Raila ni Msarendo" phrases, saying she finds no problem in Humorous Kenyans who have found comedy in her remarks.
She said her Haroo remarks usually come in handy for her when she wants to get the attention of her noisy Azimio la Umoja crowd.
