There we are now. Mama mboga regime,\u201d poking fun at Raila\u2019s perceived closeness to the current administration.<\/p>\n<p>John Peter Mwangi added, \u201cEverywhere he is, there must be a checkmate all around him,\u201d suggesting Raila\u2019s knack for staying politically relevant.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Benard Maina took a humorous jab at the duo\u2019s expressions, saying, \u201cInakaa walipikiwa snails na chapati ndio maana they look scared\u201d (It looks like they were served snails and chapati, that\u2019s why they look scared).<\/p>\n<p>Kitawi, on the other hand, praised Raila\u2019s style, noting, \u201cBaba amefungua kichwa\u201d (Baba has opened his head), referencing his signature bald look.<\/p>\n<p>Not everyone was amused, though. John Kamotho urged Kindiki to \u201crelax and gain your composure,\u201d while Samuel humorously questioned the hierarchy, asking, \u201cIs it Deputy and deputees president???\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The photo has become a talking point, with Kenyans using it as an opportunity to roast the leaders while also reflecting on the dynamics of Kenya\u2019s political landscape. <\/p>\n<p>Whether it\u2019s the awkward expressions, the seating arrangement, or the underlying political tensions, one thing is clear: Kenyans have a knack for turning even the most formal events into a source of endless entertainment.<\/p>\n<p>As the jokes continue to roll in, the question remains\u2014will Raila and Kindiki ever live this moment down?<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/d063ea903398409489874331fd1d2d0d\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Reactions:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/bf4fcc1f139943d68b2f06245a6ef076\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/e2e827d2d58b442c95ef574a3fbdaa4d\"\/><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/100057172191426\/posts\/pfbid02SopLrrzjsnNDRD9K5ZKw2EepjhD4FaXDGN48yeEGXfnahb1g7NJQkHRUYKSDMtXbl\/?app=fbl<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A photo of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, and other leaders at a State Banquet hosted by President William Ruto for the Netherlands\u2019 King Willem-Alexander and Queen M\u00e1xima has set social media ablaze.
