ODM MPs have vowed to not oppose the current regime, now that their some of their members joined the government to serve in cabinet positions.
Led by Alego Usonga MP Samuel Atandi, the lawmakers said that the government is no longer bad now that they have their representatives in it.
“The government is only bad if you are not part of it. If you are outside, you don’t have anybody who is representing your interest in that government, that government does not talk to you, that government is bad but the moment you have your people inside the way Mbadi, Raymond Omollo, my brother Opiyo Wandayi, the government cannot be bad, the government now is good,” the MP said.
Atandi added that they would rally behind the now former ODM members who joined the government so that they can deliver their mandate.
“The way Baba said he has sent experts into the executive, we want to give you the support that you can show the expertise you can produce. I trust the leadership of Raila Odinga and his wisdom for allowing our two brothers, John Mbadi and Opiyo Wandayi to join cabinet. We are going to rally behind them,” he said.
Another MP noted that it will now be easier to rectify any mistakes and have the president address their issues.
“If one of us is in government, when there is a mistake we just call him to tell the president to rectify,” he said.
