Opposition leader Raila Odinga has accused the Jubilee Administration of creating a food crisis to manipulate Kenyans ahead of August polls.

Raila said in Maua town on Saturday during his Meru tour that the unga crisis is one of the ruling entity's scheme to sources campaign cash.

He accused President Uhuru Kenyatta and DP William Ruto of working with unga dealers to create an 'artificial' shortage hence the crisis.

"Hii Njaa wakenya wako nayo imeletwa na Jubilee. Uhuru na Ruto wameleta hii njaa makusudi ili waweze kufaidika na kufanya biashara na wananchi."

Raila said the Sh90 unga is not available to ordinary Kenyans adding that it is painstaking that the duo are out to make citizens suffer in hunger.

"The unga is only available in the eyes of Uhuru and Ruto. It is not accessible to ordinary Kenyans," Raila said.

He urged residents to vote out Jubilee saying it has failed to fulfill its campaign pledges.

Raila cited the laptops for schools, subsidised fertiliser, lowering cost of living, creation of jobs, and 10,000-km roads as some of the unfulfilled pledges.

"NASA is the only hope for Kenyans now in the face of these failures. Let us vote out Jubilee."
