Azimio leader Raila Odinga has taken a swipe at Kenyans who opposed his call for mass action through demonstrations previously.
Raila said the same individuals who were against demonstrations are now looking for him because things have gotten tough in the hands of the current administration.
“Today, people are suffering all over. It was those who were saying that Azimio demonstrations were destroying their businesses, they are the ones now asking where is Baba? But Baba is silent, he is not talking. Because you said demonstrations are destroying your businesses. Now their businesses are being destroyed, not by demonstrations but through taxation,” he said as he tried to contain his laughter.
“The dog is now eating its children. Now they are saying a spear to a human is painful. As for us, we are just here because they said that they are the ones who know how to run a competitive economy,” he added.
He further noted that things in the country will not be any better because the president was handling everything by himself.
“These things are not going to get better because these people are messing up, They don’t know how to run a competitive economy. Things will not change. You cannot be one person, Mr President, you are the permanent secretary, you run ministries- you know everything. Even when El Nino is coming, you are the one who knows that El Nino is not coming. The work that should be done by the director of meteorology is being done by you as a President. You must be the one talking about everything. Even if somebody’s wife did not dress properly, you’re the one who knows,” Raila said.
The former prime minister was speaking during a meeting with student leaders of higher learning institution.
This however comes just after his daughter Winnie put a netizen, who was asking hr to tell Raila to call for demos, to his place.
