ODM leader Raila Odinga has categorically dismissed claims that the opposition party is defunct, emphasizing continued collaboration with President Uhuru Kenyatta to address national challenges. During a Kikuyu-language broadcast on Kameme FM, he asserted that aligning with Kenyatta was aimed at national interests following a turbulent election period.
Raila reiterated that 2022 political dynamics were not part of the nine-point agenda discussed during the March 9th handshake between opposition and ruling party leaders. He highlighted combating corruption as a non-negotiable priority, noting President Kenyatta's direct engagement with the issue.
The leader faces ongoing tensions with Deputy President William Ruto over the Kimwarer and Arror dam scandal, where 21 billion shillings allegedly flowed to an Italian firm through irregular channels. President Kenyatta recently warned against politicizing anti-graft efforts, vowing to hold all sectors accountable regardless of political affiliation.
