Azimio leader Raila Odinga has cleared the air on his involvement with the government saying that it is aimed at facilitating a people’s dialogue to address national issues affecting the country and not partisan political interests.
Speaking at the funeral of ODM Deputy party leader Wycliffe Oparanya’s brother in Kakamega County, Raila explained that before heading to KICC earlier in the week for the signing of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Act by President William Ruto, the Azimio leaders held a meeting and agreed to have a People’s dialogue.
“We had our meeting as Azimio leaders before proceeding to KICC. We agreed to have a People’s dialogue, not Ruto’s. Where we are, there’s so much anger, people have been killed, more bodies continue being recovered from the quarry . Koome needs to be at ICC”
He pushed for judicial reforms adding that the invasion of parliament was the public’s vote of no confidence and should also be dissolved.
“Our call for dialogue is about reforms in the judiciary, the police service, Parliament to go home because Kenyans have no confidence in it, it is not about positions.” He said.
Further Raila stressed that the opposition was not going to beg for jobs adding that they want MPs to go home.
“We are not going to beg for jobs. We want MPs to go home. We want an election.” He said.
