By Mary Ouko, February 10, 2023
Azimio la Umoja -One Kenya coalition leader Raila Odinga has maintained that the outfit will not tolerate any form of betrayal from its members.
Speaking during a rally in Machakos, Raila while condemning the 9 leaders who visited President William Ruto at State House noted that he does not buy the idea that the lawmakers met Ruto for the good of their people.
He rubbished the claims affirming that all developments are pushed in parliament and not the State House as claimed by the lawmakers.
While insisting that they were traitors, the former prime minister reiterated that the coalition will never tolerate such ‘unethical’ members.
“Bunge ndo inatengeza bajeti ya miradi zote za maendeleo, iwe ya maji, stima, chakula, mabarabara, yote inatengezewa na bunge kwa hivyo si tumesema kama wewe umeona inakuwasha washa unataka uende usuguliwe kwenda tu,” he said.
“Ni afadhali tubaki wachache ambao tuko na msimamo kuliko kua na watu ambao ni malaya, ukitaka kuenda ngambo ile kwenda kabisa, sisi tuko na wananchi. Tunasema wale ambao wako pande hii, na wananchi mkitaka kuenda pande ile sisi hatuna haja na wwe. Kwa hio wale wabunge ambao wanasema oh nilienda kwa niaba ya watu wangu nitafute maendeleo, hio ni takataka,”
The MPs led by Lang’ata MP Felix Odiwuor popularly known as Jalang’o on Tuesday, February 7, 2023, met the Head of State and pledged to work and support the Kenya Kwanza administration.
Raila also weighed in on claims regarding former security Cabinet Secretary (CS) Fred Matiang’i.
He insisted that they saw officers manning his Karen residence waiting to arrest him without a charge sheet.
Further, the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader called out the government for such theatrics asking the Ruto-led administration to put an end to late-night arrests.
“Tunataka hawa majamaa wawache mambo ya kushika watu ovyo voyo, juzi walienda kushika Matiang’i. Matiang’i anashikwa lakini bado hakuna charge sheet, na tayari askari anapelekwa, wakiona kama tumefika, wanasema hakukua na watu, wanafikiria sisi ni wazimu, wale ambao tuliona na macho walikua watu gani, si walikua ni askari? ” he posed.
