UPDATED: Changes at Raila Odinga Presidential Campaign Secretariat

UPDATE: From Raila Odinga Secretariat
Based on deliberations with the candidate subsequent to this morning's meeting,I confirm that our colleague Mr. Barack Muluka will remain part of our Presidential Campaign but will serve in a different capacity.

Barrack has now relinquished the position of National Director for Communications at the Secretariat, on a pre negotiated understanding with the Secretariat at the time of his engagement in February 2012.


Barrack has for sometime planned to undertake doctorate studies in politics and international relations. Accordingly, he is set to embark on this programme with the University of Leicester. We have accepted to allow him to pursue this scholarly mission, as well as other professional interests, elsewhere, beginning next week.

Barrack however remains a life member of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Party. The Secretariat will also retain him as a Special Consultant and Principal Adviser to the Secretariat on Public Communications and Media Relations.

We meanwhile wish him well on this fresh mission.

Our Earlier Report:  Salim Lone Touted To Replace Barack Muluka at Raila Odinga Presidential Campaign Secretariat

Sources at Office of the Prime Minister have revealed that veteran publisher and media columnists Barrack Muluka, who was appointed National Communication Director of the Raila Odinga Presidential Campaign Secretariat only seven months ago, has resigned his post.

In a statement send to newsrooms Muluka said :“It has been a privilege to support the Prime Minister in his presidential campaign effort and I wish him well in what is left of the journey,” Muluka said in a statement sent to pressrooms. 

There have been unconfirmed reports that Muluka will be replaced by another veteran - Salim Lone - who will henceforth double as the Raila Odinga Spokesman and Media Director.

The Secretariat has been actively promoting Raila's presidential bid since Muluka took over. He was quoted as telling media friends that he elected to move and pursue other professional and scholarly interests.

We wish Muluka well in his future endeavours and welcome Mr. Lone with open arms.
