Winnie Odinga has publicly responded to claims by political activist Oketch Salah, who has been alleging that he is the adopted son of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga.
Speaking on the matter, Winnie dismissed the claims, stating that while she has encountered Oketch Salah before, he is not known within the Odinga family in the manner he claims.
“I have met Oketch Salah,” Winnie said. “But just like many other people, nobody really knows him in the way he claims.”
She questioned the credibility of the assertions, noting that Raila Odinga has always been open and transparent about his family and close associates. Winnie suggested that individuals making such claims should provide clear and verifiable evidence rather than relying on public declarations.
Her response comes amid growing public debate and online speculation triggered by Oketch Salah’s statements, which have circulated widely on social media platforms.
Winnie Odinga’s remarks appear aimed at setting the record straight and discouraging what she described as misleading narratives that could confuse the public and exploit her father’s name for attention or political relevance.
The exchange highlights the increasing role of social media in amplifying personal claims and controversies involving prominent political families, raising broader questions about accountability and truth in public discourse.
