Azimio leader Raila Odinga has dragged the former President Uhuru Kenyatta name to the center of his deal to form the broad based government with President William Ruto
Odinga has revealed that Uhuru Kenyatta asked him to save the country from the agitation of the generation z over state of governance of the Kenya Kwanza government.
“When the country was in turmoil, former President Kenyatta called me and asked me to reach out to President Ruto to find a solution to the Gen Zs’ concerns. We discussed the situation, and I shared my thoughts on how to address it,” he stated.
According to the opposition leader, the request by the Azimio coalition party chairman prompted his calls for a national convention dialogue with President Ruto and the gen z.
On July 19, President Ruto announced a new list of cabinet nominees, sworn in on August 8, which included four senior members of the ODM party: John Mbadi (National Treasury), Opiyo Wandayi (Energy and Petroleum), Hassan Joho (Mining, Blue Economy, and Maritime Affairs), and Wycliffe Oparanya (Co-operatives and Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises Development). These appointments have generated discontent within the opposition.
