Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka condemned the cooperation agreement between President Ruto and Raila Odinga, calling it a betrayal of Kenyans. He reaffirmed the opposition coalition’s commitment to defending the interests of the people during the People’s Dialogue Forum. Ruto and Raila signed an MoU to address key national issues, facing opposition from Senator Omtatah regarding implementation.
Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka has expressed strong disapproval of the recent cooperation agreement between President William Ruto and ODM leader Raila Odinga, labeling it a betrayal of the Kenyan populace. He reacted to the unveiling of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed by Ruto and Raila, emphasizing that the current opposition coalition will remain steadfast in advocating for the people’s rights.
Kalonzo remarked on his social media platform, asserting, “What has come out of KICC today is the biggest betrayal of Kenyans. The people’s loyal coalition will never trade its principles for temporary comfort.” He underscored his commitment to safeguarding Kenyans’ interests while actively participating in the ongoing People’s Dialogue Forum at Uhuru Park.
During the forum, Kalonzo interacted with various participants, including civil society leaders, reinforcing his coalition’s dedication to defending the rights of all Kenyans. He affirmed, “We are the people’s loyal coalition,” highlighting the solidity of his team, which includes former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
Kalonzo’s advocacy continues as he has recently urged Raila to side with the opposition for the country’s liberation rather than supporting the government. In contrast, while visiting Wajir County, Raila dismissed collaboration with Gachagua’s faction due to past grievances.
In a landmark move, Ruto and Raila have committed to addressing significant national issues through their MoU, which includes addressing corruption and fully implementing the Nadco report, a consensus document from previous bipartisan discussions. Despite this, Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah has publicly opposed the Nadco report’s implementation, warning that those who support it should be removed from public life, asserting that “Raila Odinga and William Ruto have declared war on the future of this country.”
In conclusion, Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka has voiced significant concerns regarding the cooperation between President William Ruto and ODM leader Raila Odinga, branding it a betrayal of the Kenyan people. The opposition coalition, represented by Kalonzo and others, vows to uphold the principles vital for Kenyans’ interests while engaging in ongoing dialogues about national issues. The recent MoU signed by Ruto and Raila aims to tackle critical issues, yet it faces opposition from figures like Senator Omtatah, illustrating the political divide in addressing these concerns.
