"It is imperative moving forward that Winnie learns to respect people for who they are."

Silas Chepkeres Jakakimba, a long-serving aide of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, is now claiming that EALA MP Winnie Odinga abused him on allegations of betrayal.

Jakakimba claims that Winnie, who is the youngest child of Raila, used an F-word against him simply because he changed his profile picture on Facebook

"Winnie Odinga used F’Words on me last night for what she terms betrayal in lieu of my Cover Photo," Jakakimba said.

In the photo, Jakakimba is seen shaking hands with President William Ruto while in the company of other leaders including Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga.

Jakakimba accuses the scion of failing to respect the fact that he has spent nearly half of his life being around the ODM leader and maintaining his loyalty to him.

"What she fails to appreciate: We respect JAKOM-done nearly HALF the years of my life around him and if she cares to know, we’ve had to hard-furnace via invisible Sacrifices to that Cadre of loyalty," he said.

The ODM leader's aide has now asked Winnie to at least accord him respect for the work he has done for Raila Odinga for many years.

"It is imperative moving forward that Winnie learns to respect people for who they are - if not least, for what they’ve been in a long journey of several lows and countable highs, for love of Country," he stated.

Jakakimba has been working closely with Raila for many years as his aide.

It is not clear yet what could have happened to prompt the altercation with the EALA MP.
