National Super Alliance (Nasa) leader Raila Odinga has
criticised President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto over
their remarks that he is ‘old’ and should retire from politics.
Speaking
on Sunday during a rally in Kawangware, Nairobi, the former Prime
Minister said he would quit politics only after he has delivered Kenyans
from “a corrupt Jubilee government led by President Uhuru Kenyatta” and
when his heart desires.
“They want me to retire
because I am old but I want Kenyans to know that I will quit politics
not because Uhuru and Ruto want me to do so, it is because I will have
achieved in uniting Kenyans,” Mr Odinga said as he addressed a series of
rallies in the area.
UNITE KENYANS
He
continued; “I want to unite Kenyans and deliver them to the promised
land. You should not focus on the age of a person but his ideas. There
are young people with unsound mind to lead.”
The
Nasa leader who pulled out of the October 26 fresh presidential
election said that president Kenyatta is working hard to cling on power
and continue to promote tribalism and high cost of living.
He also said that Nasa has transformative policies to unite the country and eradicate poverty.
CAUSE MAYHEM
“Jubilee
government has done nothing and it will be the same old sufferings. We
will create jobs for the youths and a special fund to help single
mothers,” he said.
The Nasa leader had earlier attended a service at Gatina PAG Church where he accused the government of using Mungiki, a proscribed gang to cause mayhem in Kawangware.
“This
crisis is not about the fighting between the Luhya and Kikuyu
communities who have coexisted in this area for long, it is about Mungiki that is financed by jubilee politicians to kill, maim and terrorize innocent Kenyans,” he said.
