Pauline Njoroge: Raila’s trusted strategist or Uhuru’s hidden saboteur?

Pauline Njoroge has been at the center of controversy in Kenyan politics, with new allegations emerging about her role in Raila Odinga’s camp. Critics now claim she was not just an ordinary strategist but a spy planted by former President Uhuru Kenyatta to manipulate Raila’s campaign and ensure his failure.

This revelation comes after her latest involvement in Raila’s unsuccessful bid for the African Union Commission (AUC) chairmanship, further fueling suspicions that wherever she goes, failure follows.

Robert Alai and other political commentators have raised concerns about Pauline’s true intentions. Alai has openly suggested that Pauline was working against Raila from within, feeding information to Uhuru Kenyatta and his allies to weaken Raila’s campaign efforts.

This theory gains traction considering that every major campaign she has been part of has ended in defeat. Many now believe that her presence in Raila’s 2022 presidential campaign was a well-calculated move to sabotage his chances, ensuring that William Ruto had a smooth path to victory.

Pauline herself admitted that Raila personally invited her to be part of his team during the AUC elections. This raises questions about Raila’s judgment in trusting individuals who have been linked to his political rivals.

Despite being presented as a digital strategist, her track record is filled with political missteps and failed campaigns. The fact that Raila’s AU bid crumbled under her watch is seen by many as a confirmation that her involvement in any campaign spells doom.

Her close association with Uhuru Kenyatta is another point of concern. Pauline has never hidden her admiration for Uhuru, even calling herself a loyalist.

This loyalty to Uhuru while working in Raila’s team creates a conflict of interest that cannot be ignored. Was she truly working to help Raila, or was she ensuring that his efforts remained ineffective?

The idea that Uhuru could have used her as an informant is no longer just speculation it is now a strong argument backed by Raila’s continued failures whenever she is involved.

Netizens have now started noticing the trend, with many commenting that Pauline’s support is the perfect recipe for failure.

The latest AUC elections only cemented this belief, as Raila’s campaign failed despite the resources and influence behind it. It is now evident that Pauline is more of a political liability than an asset, and any candidate who embraces her should prepare for disappointment.

With these revelations, the big question remains was Pauline Njoroge a key factor in Raila’s 2022 election loss? The pattern is becoming too obvious to ignore, and the more she remains in political circles, the more suspicions about her true role will continue to grow.
