ODM leader Raila Omolo Odinga has renewed his attacks on President William Ruto’s administration accusing it of failing to address the challenges faced by Kenyans. He said the government has failed to address many economic and social challenges that have put many Kenyans on the edge, including floods that are ravaging several parts of the country.
The Azimio leader told the Kenya Kwanza government to stop blaming the former Jubilee administration for its failure.
“Right now there is hunger and other Kenyans are dying due to floods. These people are sleeping on the job,” Raila said.
Raila added: “The president had announced that El Niño rains would not be there and now that the rains have come, counties are not getting support from the government.”
He slammed Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua for claiming the government had disbursed funds to counties to help mitigate the effects of the heavy rains.
“The Deputy President is trying to blame the governors and lying that they were given money,” Raila said.
The former PM who proceeded to Nyatike constituency for an ODM new members registration drive asked youths in Kuria to join ODM and remain united.
While at Macalder in Nyatike where he conducted a member registration drive, Raila pointed out that it was too early for people to start campaigning for the next elections. “I am advising ODM leaders to start campaigning in 2026.
Raila dismissed UDA’s visits to the region. He also dismissed claims the ruling party had registered over 100, 000 in Nyanza. He called on residents to remain in ODM.
