Tuesday July 30, 2024 - Azimio leaders have given former Prime Minister Raila Odinga an ultimatum to make up his mind on whether he is in Government or the Opposition because he can’t be in both.
Speaking to journalists yesterday, Party of National Unity (PNU) leader, Peter Munya, dismissed the notion that it was possible to have one leg dipped in the Government and the other firmly in the Opposition.
"Next Thursday, there will be a party meeting where we will decide our stance regarding our relationship with the Azimio coalition. The ODM Party has joined the government.”
“They cannot be in government and still remain in opposition. Those of us who wish to remain in opposition must separate ourselves to continue advocating for the rights of citizens," Munya stated.
The PNU leader's comments bring to light the internal conflict within the coalition, with members grappling with the dual roles some have adopted in Government and the opposition.
Munya insists that the PNU is prepared to serve effectively in the opposition.
"However, they must make a clear decision whether to remain in opposition or join the government. As PNU, we believe we can effectively serve in the opposition," Munya emphasized.
Despite his critical stance, Munya extended his respect and best wishes to the Azimio partners whose four members were nominated to Cabinet positions in President William Ruto’s government.
"With all due respect to our partners in Azimio, led by a man we greatly respect, we wish them success in the government," he added.
