Are you anxious about the political aspirants and weather in 2022? Well hold your horses as politicians themselves are declaring calm and wish that for now we all focus on other national agendas achievement.
In emphasis, a group of Political leaders drawn from the Jubilee and NASA Political parties have called for an end to 2022 succession politics as well as politicizing President Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga’s handshake. The leaders led by Tharaka Nithi Senator Kithure Kindiki spoke during a fundraiser at St Francis Xavier Catholic Parish in Siakago.
Anthony Oluoch Mathare’s Mp reaffirmed to Kenyan’s that Kenya doesn’t practice dynasty rule and neither does it practice hustler rule therefore Kenyans should try and put Kenya together as one and give president Uhuru and Raila space from such politics.
The Odinga and Kenyatta families have often times been referred to as political dynasties as they have held the country’s top leadership since independence.
However speaking during the requiem mass of the late former Maendeleo ya Wanawake Organisation chairlady Jane Kiano on Friday, Raila clarified that they are not dynasties saying,”Odinga, son of Raila, was just a pauper. You would say he was just a hustler. You cannot, therefore, say that Raila is a product of a dynasty,”
And on Uhuru,”Jomo Kenyatta was a son of a pauper. He struggled and was detained by the colonialists for all those years. Because of that, you cannot say Uhuru is part of a dynasty.”
Kithure kindiki deputy speaker senate also addressed the crowd at the Catholic parish fundraiser saying the visit of Ruto by Uhuru and Raila was a demonstration that no one had been left out in the handshake that meant to unite all Kenyans and mark a new mission of fostering peace.
This comes soon after Joho’s sentiments while speaking on Saturday during an opinion leaders’ meeting at Wild Waters in Mombasa where he affirmed he will confidently run for presidency in 2022 general elections.
The governor said no leader can purport to speak on behalf of Coast residents without consulting them.
“Such a leader is a liar who cannot be trusted. This, again, is the reason we have called you here so that you can give your views on the future of Coast unity for documentation,” he said.
“Apart from embracing the national handshake, we must also have our own Coast handshake and forge ahead in development. Leadership has responsibilities. We need each other as we push for unity,” he added.
Mr Kingi who was also in the meeting said those who attended the meeting to represent the interests of non-local leaders were not part of them, but hurdles in the achievement of their dreams.
“It will be hard to achieve all these dreams, including the presidential ambition, if we are here today but representing the likes of Uhuru Kenyatta, Raila Odinga and Kalonzo Musyoka. That is not the unity we want.”
Do you believe that kenya is being run under dynasty rule?
