Btw, what are the chances that a woman rumoured to have dated your son, George Ruto, names her airline Raila Airways, after Raila Amollo Odinga, then just a few days after she announces it, you decide to rename an unfinished stadium after Baba?
Sheila Mutundi named her airline after Baba, just two months after amekufa. Sasa nashangaa, why didn’t Ruto rename the stadium before Sheila announced Raila Airways? And why couldn’t he wait mpaka the stadium iishe kujengwa?
Because honestly, the timing yenyewe raises questions. Inafanya tushangae kama maybe someone didn’t want Sheila Mutundi or Raila Airways to have that moment to shine with Baba’s name?
"We chose the name Raila as a tribute, to honor his legacy and keep it alive," Singapore-based Kenyan model Sheila Mutundi has said, explaining the inspiration behind the soon-to-be-launched Raila Airways.
Mutundi, who was spotted with George Ruto in Bali, said that the airline will offer employment and investment opportunities to Kenyans while building an international presence.
Although it will not operate locally, the airline plans to run flights between Malaysia and Nairobi twice weekly.
"Having Baba’s name on an airline is a proud moment for us as Kenyans. Our vision is to grow it into a respected international airline that represents excellence and ambition. Although it is an international company, we plan to work closely with many Kenyans, both as investors and as employees," Sheila said.
