The dismissed letter ‘Joho’ thanks ODM party leader Raila Odinga for the opportunity to serve as his deputy.

” I hereby thank you for the opportunity you granted me to serve as a deputy party leader in ODM. I believe during my tenure I served you and the party members diligently including organizing for campaigns in different parts of the country including catering for expense even as the party was experiencing tough economic times,” it reads.

In the letter, ‘Joho’ supposedly asked Raila to give his post to a young person.

ODM also dismissed the letter on social media: “We thrive in TRUTH… FAKE news ain’t our thing #TukoPamoja.”
