Orange Democratic Movement party may soon declare an onslaught against Jubilee Party, Secretary General Edwin Sifuna has said.
Earlier, blogger Seth Odongo alias Dikembe Disembe, had questioned the continued onslaught targeting Raila by State House Digital Communication Director Dennis Itumbi, a close ally of Ruto.
"This is the same 2013/17 Jubilee politics...the gaslighting...the graphical corruption of Raila’s image...the insults....the doomsday blogs and videos...this was Jubilee’s online propaganda strategy and its happening all over again. No focus on issues. Just insult Raila," Odongo lamented.
In a response, Sifuna claimed that President Uhuru Kenyatta had failed to tame his troops over attacks against Raila adding that the ODM team would soon come out guns blazing against Jubilee administration.
"We thought the President called for a truce during the state of the Union . He even twice apologized for this kind of Siasa. We have honored the ceasefire but that he is unable to keep a leash on his cats means we may soon have to declare formal resumption of hostilities," he wrote.
In April, President Uhuru Kenyatta defended Raila Odinga against an onslaught by Dr Ruto, arguing that the former Premier has been instrumental in shaping his decisions and policies.
“We have just been talking about issues affecting our people. If its infrastructure, what do we need to do? We discuss and we support each other,” said the President as quoted by the Nation.
“We sit; we discuss; we agree. He (Mr Odinga) also gives me ideas that enhance something and make it even better. What is wrong with that?”
