The Jubilee government has offered jobs to Opposition leaders Raila Odinga and his former running mate Kalonzo Musyoka.
National
Assembly Majority leader Adan Duale on Sunday urged the former Prime
Minister and Mr Musyoka to go for the jobs, which he said President
Kenyatta was willing to offer.
The Opposition and other
critics of the government had become champions in funerals and other
public gatherings making “unwarranted” criticisms against Jubilee over
appointments, he said.
Mr Duale urged Mr Musyoka to
“come near the government” and do away with the Opposition, which he
said was too weak to effectively check the government.
“We
want a credible, effective and vibrant opposition which can ask us
questions,” said Mr Duale, and with a tinge of contempt, continued, “not
a weak opposition like this one we have today that when they hit a
banner on the roadside they cry that government wants to kill them.”
Separately, Murang’a and Kiambu politicians criticised the Cord leaders for blaming the Jubilee government for their problems.
Governors
William Kabogo (Kiambu) and Mwangi wa Iria (Murang’a), Senator Kembi
Gitura and MPs Jamleck Kamau, Alice Ng’ang’a and Sabina Chege told the
leaders to stop making alarming statements.
On
Saturday, Mr Odinga and Mr Musyoka accused the Jubilee government of
being behind Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero’s and Bungoma Senator Moses
Wetangula’s problems.
