In a lengthy social media post, Millie Mabona questioned the relevance of the ongoing dispute, urging Salah to reflect on what value the debate adds to the country.
Mabona acknowledged Salah’s claims of closeness to Raila Odinga but challenged him to consider the bigger picture.
“Assuming it is true that Salah was very close to our departed leader Raila, what next?” she posed, arguing that such claims do little to address pressing national issues such as the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) or the Social Health Authority (SHA).
Mabona further questioned whether the debate serves any meaningful political or social purpose, stating that it neither alters policy direction nor brings Raila Odinga back.
In her view, the focus on personal proximity to the late ODM leader risks turning a solemn legacy into an unproductive public spectacle.
Offering what she termed as advice, Mabona suggested that Salah should quietly engage family members who are willing to continue associating with him and build relationships with them, while respecting those who prefer distance.
“I would let those who do not want to associate, be,” she said, emphasizing discretion and maturity over confrontation.
Her remarks also took a speculative turn as she suggested that learning more about Salah’s own background might help shift the conversation.
Mabona recalled having known a Sala Mohamed who attended Homabay Primary School years ago before moving to Migori, hinting that this could possibly be linked to Salah’s family history.
The comments come amid heightened public debate after Winnie Odinga and Raila Odinga Junior dismissed Salah’s claims of being Raila’s adopted son and questioned his accounts of the former Prime Minister’s final days.
As reactions continue to pour in, Mabona’s intervention has been viewed by some as an attempt to de-escalate tensions and redirect attention from personal disputes to issues of national importance.
