In a bold move, Embakasi North Member of Parliament, James Gakuya, has taken a stand against Orange Democratic Movement leader Raila Odinga for his recent alliance with President William Ruto. Gakuya has not minced his words, accusing Raila of prioritizing his own interests over those of ordinary Kenyans. The MP’s scathing remarks come in the wake of Raila’s decision to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with Ruto, a move that Gakuya believes marks the end of Raila’s legacy as a champion for the rights of Kenyans.
Gakuya’s criticism of Raila’s alliance with Ruto is not without merit. He points out that this is not the first time Raila has struck a deal with a sitting president, referencing a previous agreement with President Uhuru Kenyatta that did not result in Raila being elected. Gakuya is adamant that the current coalition between Raila and Ruto is solely for Raila’s personal gain, rather than for the benefit of the Kenyan people.
The MP’s fiery remarks highlight the growing discontent among political figures over the new alliance. Gakuya warns that the collaboration between Raila and Ruto will not yield positive results, as Raila’s influence has been on the decline in recent years. He predicts major changes in parliamentary committees, ministries, and ambassadorial positions as a result of the alliance, all of which he believes are designed to keep Raila aligned with the government.

‘The signing of the Memorandum of Understanding between Ruto and Odinga has sparked controversy and opposition from various political figures, including Wiper Democratic Movement leader Kalonzo Musyoka and Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah. Musyoka has labeled the pact as a betrayal of Kenyans, while Omtatah has accused Raila and Ruto of waging war on the future of the country.‘
