Makadara Member of Parliament George Aladwa has explained why he has been silent on most recent issues of national importance, including the rise in graft cases.
Speaking on Radio Citizen Monday morning, the opposition’s Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) parliamentarian explained that the same results from the March 9 truce between his party leader Raila Odinga and President Uhuru Kenyatta.
He expressed his unwillingness to hurl his criticisms at the Jubilee government as was the case before, stating that a contravention of the current peace between the two sides and their pledge to jointly solve national shortcomings.
‘’Nitasema nini sasa na kinara wangu ashasema tufanye kazi kwa pamoja? (whyo would I oppose my party leader who has seen it better to unite in solving our shortcomings?),’’ he wondered.
The Nairobi ODM Chairman, however, noted that the ceasefire does not, in any way, mean that the opposition party has joined the government.
He added that the party leadership has since raised its concerns about the fuel price hike issue, noting that the orange party through its top leadership will keep opposing and correcting the government whenever necessary.
‘’Hatujaungana na Jubilee, tuko tu pamoja kikazi na hata katika hili suala la mafuta tayari Raila and Mwenyekiti wa kitaifa John Mbadi washaliangazia.(we are not part of Jubilee hence out party leadership through Raila and National Chairman John Mbadi’s recent questions of the fuel price hike),’’ he added.
