CONTROVERSIAL BLOGGER

Alai has steadily built a brand as a controversial blogger who never shies away from speaking his mind, never mind the fact that he often rubs the public the wrong way for his radical stand.

He is also said to have reliable sources within the government who often provide him with valuable tip offs for his sensitive blogs which shape public opinion.

A former diehard Raila Odinga cheer leader, Alai surprised many in the run-up to the 2017 general elections by shifting his allegiance to President Uhuru Kenyatta.
