Speaking on Tuesday night, Kalonzo said some of the four were determined to join Rutoโs Cabinet.
He said that after the Gen Z protests, Raila reached out to him for input on what he should do and shared with him his position on the matter.
โThe Azimio leader is Raila Odinga, the coalition chair is Uhuru Kenyatta but we havenโt sat for a very long time but when this whole thing was happening, Raila reached out to me for an opinion because after the Gen Z revolution, Cabinet was dissolved, after that William Ruto had to reconstitute his Cabinet.
โThere were some, the initial four senior leaders of ODM who joined Kenya Kwanza as ministers, who were determined to join the Cabinet and I get the feeling they must have pushed Raila strongly,โ Kalonzo stated on Citizen TV.
He insisted that what Raila wanted initially was a national convention that would culminate in the formation of a transition government that would have leaders from both sides of the political divide.
Kalonzo said this was informed by the bad state the country was in, but instead, what followed was Railaโs people joining the Kenya Kwanza administration.
The former Vice President noted that this development is what has placed the former Prime Minister in the situation he is in currently.
โRaila’s view would have been, and he shared this with me, let’s have a national convention because the country is in a poor state and end up formulating a transitional government. That would be the time when Azimio would have proposed so many people to join. But that instead happened. William Ruto must be a happy man,” he said
โThat’s why I say my friend Raila was snookered,” he saidโฆCLICK HERE TO READ MORE ARTICLES>>>
