Kenya kwanza has completely destroyed the Relationship we had with our neighbors- Raila Laments.
Kenya kwanza has completely destroyed the Relationship we had with our neighbors: Opposition leader Raila odinga has lashed out saying Kenya kwanza has triggered a strained relationship between Kenya and the East African Community (EAC) peers.
He stated,”Since Kenya Kwanza came to power, matters have taken a turn for the worse. Kenyans realized that there is something terribly wrong with the relationship between us and our East African neighbours when we celebrated the significant milestone of 60 years since independence. None of our neighbouring EAC countries were represented at the level of President, Vice President or Prime Minister as would have been expected in such a significant occasion that has been the tradition until we have taken it for granted,”
“We must tell Kenyans that our neighbours are not to blame for this negative development in our relationship. At the centre of the continuing damage of our relationship in EAC is the unbridled greed and corruption as practised by the Kenya Kwanza government and the arrogance and foul mouth that has come with it. Kenya Kwanza is failing the diplomacy test, and the country in the process,” he added.
Notably, Raila called out the gov’t saying they are acting as middlemen, straining landlocked countries such as Uganda.
Raila stated,”Since independence 60 years ago, this kind of highway robbery has never happened under the auspices of people in power in Kenya. It is an extortion by the powerful in the Kenya Kwanza regime. Uganda is now forced to desperately seek relief through our Court system to protect itself from the greed of the Ruto regime. We have seen the hands of the cartel that now wield power in the petroleum sector as if it belongs to one ethnic village,”
“The actions of the Kenya Kwanza cartel undermine the letter and the spirit of the EAC treaty. To waylay our land-locked neighbours who have used Kenya as their preferred route for import and export may hurt the neighbours now, but Kenya will pay the price in the long run. Uganda has been forced to seek a different route through Dar-es-salaam and the other EAC countries will follow suit and Kenya will be the looser eventually,”he added.
