Wednesday, August 14, 2024 – Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has once again revealed how he saved President William Ruto from being overthrown by the Gen Zs.
Speaking during the burial of former IEBC Commissioner Irene Masit’s father, Chirchir Masit, in Elgeyo Marakwet, Raila revealed that when things were hot and the country was burning, Ruto reached out to him for help to calm things down, and he agreed to assist.
He noted that he told the Head
of State that Kenyans were angry about his inept Cabinet, and the president agreed
to send them home.
"William is the one who
reached out to me, and I spoke to him very openly. I don't hide things; I speak
directly. The newspapers are writing about some Ruto and Raila handshake—there
is no handshake.”
"I told Ruto that the
people he has appointed have not worked the way the citizens want. The citizens
are frustrated, which is why the youth have come out,” Raila stated.
The Opposition chief also noted
that he asked Ruto to dismiss Principal Secretaries, saying they have also not
delivered to Kenyans.
“He (Ruto) listened and told me;
he would remove the cabinet and send them home. I told him that even those
Principal Secretaries you have there are corrupt, all of them need to be
cleaned out so that we can have a fresh start,” Raila added.
The Principal Secretaries are
yet to be fired as Baba advised.
