Narc Kenya Party leader Martha Karua has come out to point out to Kenyans where ODM leader Raila Odinga is better than President Uhuru Kenyatta.
According to Ms. Karua, the ODM leader articulates government policy more prominently than President Kenyatta.
She added, for this reason, the former Prime Minister and his party should either form a coalition government with the President or either be in the opposition.
“ODM is having their cake and eating it… former Prime Minister articulates government policy better than Uhuru. Be in government or opposition. Don’t have your leg in each,” Martha Karua said in an interview with NTV on Tuesday night.
She further stated that Raila had let down Kenyans since they don’t know whether they are in government or not. She lauded the handshake between Raila and Uhuru but urged ODM to decide whether they are in opposition or not.
“It is okay to have a handshake, but decide whether you are in opposition…” she said.
Taking about Uhuru’s administration failing to implement various sections of the Constitution, Karua said both Mr. Kenyata and his Deputy Dr. William Ruto were not the best people to do so.
“There was a disconnect from 2013 and it is, therefore, no surprise that the Jubilee government has been unable to implement the Constitution,” she said.
Ms. Karua reiterated that calls for constitutional changes by political leaders were not genuine.
“These are calls to merely add to the number in the Executive. That’s not what Kenyans are missing… top-heavy,” she said.
“Let us implement the Constitution extensively first… It’s like buying a new outfit and before even trying it.”
She further noted that Chapter 12 of the Constitution on Public Finance is yet to be implemented.
