Wednesday, April 4, 2023-President William Ruto’s close lieutenants have told off former Prime Minister Raila Odinga after he demanded a share of the current government.
In a statement on Tuesday evening, Raila reiterated that he
is not interested in a handshake, but made a rather curious admission.
Raila said the parliamentary process will not be enough to
address his demands, and that outside parties should be involved in a process
akin to the 2008 National Accord.
That was the process chaired by former AU Secretary General
Koffi Annan after the disputed election, whose primary objective was to bring
Raila into government as Prime Minister, alongside his selection of cabinet
ministers.
However commenting on Raila’s new demand, Kapseret Member of Parliament, Oscar Sudi said he was shocked that Raila wanted the dialogue to be like that of 2008.
The lawmakerquestioned how the issues of reducing the cost of living and opening IEBC servers are related to the 2008 National Accord.
"I am shocked to hear Raila Odinga desperately seeking
talks like the 2008 National Accord using the issues of the price of UNGA and
opening of @IEBCKenya servers. Do these issues even relate? Heri tu mrudi
Maandamano nyinyi," Sudi said.
