Raila Odinga has described the 2022 elections as the Third and Final liberation of Kenya.
The ODM leader said his Sh.6000 per youth stipend is geared towards economic take off for the youth and create a Singapore like economic model based on production.
For this to happen, the youth must join in the push for final liberation, which is now economic.
The ODM leader said political liberation was complete…now is the turn for economy, driven and fuelled by the youth economy.
Raila was speaking at his Kisumu back yard, where he appealed for total voter registration and turnout.
Raila’s mission was to sign a code of contact with his hysterical supporters on what and not to say during the electioneering period.
Instinctively, the ODM leader went back home after scalling Mt Kenya and gaining major strides in the GEMA vote nation.
Luo Nyanza has a combined vote strength of close to 2.7 Million votes.
It is these and those of the unregistered voters Raila is seeking to lock in his basket.
To neutralise the Kalenjin nation vote believed to be around 2.9million.
These are safely tacked in the DP Ruto wheelbarrow.
The DP and Raila are the two direct rivals for the 2022 poll.
Raila is a political collosus and a crowd puller who has given Uhuruto a run fir their money since 2013.
President Kenyatta appears to have given both a level playing ground to compete for the GEMA votes.
This has evidenced by his easy mien towards Ruto during Mashujaa Day in Kirinyaga.
During his road side rallies at Ahero, Nyamasaria, Kondele, and the Kisumu bus park, Raila urged voters to register in large numbers.
Odinga rallied support for the economic revolution, which he described as the country’s “third and final emancipation” following independence and the adoption of the 2010 constitution.

“Do you understand what I’m saying? We need to talk about assisting these MSMEs so that they may grow into important enterprises, just like the Chinese, Koreans, and Vietnamese did.”
“Are we together?” Odinga inquired. “We start from the bottom, and that is what I want us to do.”
He was accompanied by ODM deputy party leader Wycliffe Oparanya and party chairperson John Mbadi, as well as Kisumu Woman Representative Rosa Buyu, Kisumu Central legislator Fred Outa, and county leaders.
