How true is this Facebook post with a screenshot of Citizen TV referring to Azimio la Umoja coalition leader, Raila Odinga, as “Mkaazi wa Bondo” (Bondo Resident)?

Just by looking at the post, one can spot the difference in the fonts used in the title "Mkaazi wa Bondo" and the name "Raila Odinga", which would be unlikely from a mainstream media outlet like Citizen TV.

A look through Citizen TV’s YouTube channel shows that the image in question is doctored. The correct title used by the news outlet in the Swahili bulletin on 4 November 2022 is “Kinara, Azimio La Umoja” which translates to “Leader, Azimio La Umoja”.
