Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader Raila Odinga has asked leaders to unite in the war against graft.
Speaking at the burial of former Gatanga MP Peter Kenneth’s mother, Mama Rahab Wambui, in Gatanga, Murang’a County, Raila said that the country has continued to lag behind in terms of development because of massive corruption.
He divulged that President Uhuru Kenyatta needs the support of Kenyans from different parts to win the war against the vice.
The former Prime Minister also said that his union with President Kenyatta, who is completing his second and final term in power, was meant to ensure that Kenya is a better place.
“We want to work together for the sake of the country. The country cannot move forward if we don’t unite and support this fight against corruption. There is no need of shifting blame, what we want to see is justice being served and the truth known,” said Raila, as quoted by Citizen Digital.
During the same function, the ODM leader asked Uhuru to offer Peter Kenneth a job.
He said the 2013 presidential candidate has proven that he is a gentleman hence the president needs to consider him when it comes to government appointments.
The former lawmaker had unsuccessfully contested for the Nairobi Gubernatorial seat in 2017.
