Prophet speaks doom into Jalang’o’s future for political betrayal

A Kisumu-based pastor, Prophet Dr Samo Mtishiby, has warned politicians who have betrayed opposition leader Raila Odinga that they will pay for their betrayal.

Mtishiby said that these politicians may have money to eat today and protect themselves, but it is their future generations that will pay the price. He specifically singled out first-time Member of Parliament Phelix Odiwuor alias Jalang’o, who represents Langata Constituency.

Mtishiby said that Jalang’o used to be able to walk with pride in Kisumu, but now he would be killed if he tried to do so. He also said that other politicians who have betrayed Odinga will be pointed fingers at and their reputations will be ruined.

Mtishiby contrasted Jalang’o with Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino, who he said has continued to walk under the guidance of Odinga. Mtishiby said that Owino is quickly forgiven by Odinga when he makes a mistake, and that this is why he is still popular in Nyanza.

Mtishiby also warned Jalang’o and other ODM rebels that their defections have created rifts in the party. He said that these rifts are opportunities for the enemy to study what is within the party and plot an attack.

Mtishiby’s warning comes as the political landscape in Kenya is increasingly polarized ahead of the 2022 elections. Odinga is the leader of the Azimio la Umoja coalition, while President William Ruto is the leader of the Kenya Kwanza coalition. The two coalitions are vying for control of the government.

It remains to be seen how Mtishiby’s warning will affect the political landscape in Kenya. However, it is clear that he believes that politicians who betray Odinga will be punished.
