Odinga travelled to Dubai for medical purposes and underwent a surgery to treat a nerve disorder that had affected one of his legs.
Kenyans on Twitter claimed that Ms Kyallo had accompanied Governor Joho to Dubai and that she owned the handbag.
The bag noticed in several photos shared by Junet and Joho aboard a private jet were compared to an old photo of Betty Kyallo clutching a brown handbag, leading to the conclusion that she had tagged along.
She posted a series of videos on her Instagram account where she refuted the claims saying that she was not in Dubai. She said she was with her friend going to have nyama choma (roast meat).
Ms Kyallo further said that she had a lot of business to do and had no time for moving from one point to the other.
“I hear I am in Dubai. Guys I am not in Dubai, I am actually going to have some delicious nyama choma. You know I have a business to run I can’t be gallivanting everywhere. We are going to have lunch guys so chill,” said Kyallo.
In the photo, Governor Joho is seated beside Suna East MP Junet Mohammed and the two said they were headed to Dubai to visit ODM leader Raila Odinga who underwent “minor” surgery.
However, under a table that is placed right in front of them is a handbag which caught the eyes of Kenyans.
Another photo showed two unidentified women and a man with Joho and Junet, with one of them holding the handbag in question.
Here are some of the reactions from the Kenyans on Twitter

Don't be lied to. Betty is the photographer.— Zuri Hera (@ZuriHera) July 9, 2020
In a twisted psychological warfare, the crew member was asked to pose carrying the Ki-Betty to throw Twitter DCI off their game. Enjoy Dubai. The owner of the ki-Betty is known. 😆😆😆

Betty Kyalo trended alongside Joho on social media sites with the #Betty trending as number one on Twitter immediately after Junet Mohamed shared the images.
The anchor has been on the spotlight ever since she quit her K24 TV job to focus on her private business and YouTube channel dubbed Betty Kyallo Lately.
