In a statement on Tuesday evening, Malala rubbished Azimio’s
demands stating that the President Ruto-led party shall not be intimidated to
fall for unconstitutional ways of negotiations.
According to Malala, Odinga’s demands are made to coerce the
state to share power with Azimio.
“Raila Odinga, in his statement, has confirmed our worst
fears that Maadamano, was not genuine from the onset but a blatant thirst and
hunger for power through the back door. In making these unreasonable demands,
Raila Odinga has demonstrated his intention to hold the Bipartisan
Parliamentary Process as suggested by The President at ransom,” he stated.
“Formation of anybody, not legally recognized by the
constitution or statute law amounts to living in utopia and broad daylight
hallucination. We want to categorically state that, we as a party, shall not
accept any process that is outside the purview of the constitution or offends
the law as established.”
Malala reiterated that the president’s recent call for
dialogue with the Azimio leader should not be mistaken as a sign of cowardice.
“We call upon Raila Odinga to recognize that there is a
legitimate government in Kenya delivering the promises made to the electorate
and implementing its pre-election agenda. He should not mistake the President’s
Olive branch in this Holy Month as a sign of cowardice,” he noted.
Malala’s remarks come after Odinga said Azimio wanted to
have a conversation at the national level similar to that of 2008 that was led
by Koffi Anan at the time of late President Mwai Kibaki.
