Raila: I will support single mothers, their children if elected president

ODM leader Raila Odinga on Saturday pitched tent in Narok County to drum up support for his Azimio la Umoja movement.

Addressing a rally at Ololulunga, Raila said if elected president on August 9, he will categorise single mothers in special and needy group and ensure the government come up with an empowerment and support programme for them.

Raila said the number of single mothers in the country are on the rise hence the need for the new government to support them and their children.

“The number of single mothers is on the rise due to divorce, death of husbands and some men fleeing from responsibility, I will stand with them if we form government,” he said amid cheers.

He said once his government sustain the war on corruption and seal graft loopholes, funds to implement the programme will be available.

“They claim it is an empty promise, Baba don’t give empty promises to his children, we will seal loopholes use by the corrupt to steal public funds and use the money to implement the programme.”

Raila told Kenyans to shun leaders out divide country through reckless and divisive remarks for political expediency, saying Kenyan belongs to everyone.

“No one is more Kenyan than the other, so if you hear them talk about madoadoa don’t listen to them because Kenya has no moadoa,” he said.

While thanking the Maa community elders for endorsing his State House bid, Raila said he will ensure the community’s heritage and the Mau forest which is vital for their livelihood are preserved for posterity.
