We shall not tolerate acts of betrayal- Raila finally breaks silence.
After the two day Azimio meeting, The principal has finally spoke through his spokesperson.
According to Raila, the party does not tolerate any acts of betrayal from its members, he said this adding that the party does not recognize Wiliam Ruto as the President of Kenya.
The statement read,”The Parliamentary Group restates the position that Azimio does not recognize Dr William Ruto as the legitimate President of the Republic of Kenya.”
” In this struggle, we shall not tolerate acts that amount to a betrayal of the dreams and aspirations of the people of Kenya. Azimio, therefore, asks its elected leaders to shape up or ship out. There will be no two ways about this. The flirtations and co-habitations with the Kenya Kwanza regime under whatever pretext is totally unacceptable,” he added.
He also reiterated that development is sought in parliament where the lawmakers have a forum to air the grievances of the people, not in state house as the MPs claimed.
He stated,” We are currently engaged in a just struggle for this nation; a struggle for a good standard of living, struggle for democracy and struggle to safeguard our hard-won multi-party political system that is under threat.”
“Development is to be sought from Parliament which appropriates resources and not from State House. State House has no constitutional mandate or power to appropriate funds. That mandate and power reside in the two houses of Parliament, the Senate and National Assembly,” he added.
Additionally, Mr. Odinga stated that the people of Kenya will not suffer as the government engages in dirty politics.
He stated,”Our people must not succumb to the blackmail, dirty politics and dirty money being dished out by the regime that is struggling for legitimacy.”
