Siaya Senator James Orengo has said the journey to 'Canaan' is still on, dismissing claims the opposition is dead.
In the run up to the polls, opposition chief Raila Odinga used the narrative as a vow to better the lives of his supporters and the nation were he to clinch the presidency.
In an interview on Sunday, Orengo, a close ally of the former Prime Minister, said the journey to 'Canaan' is still on course, and the crocodiles on river Jordan which were affecting it have reduced.
"There are crocodiles but only a few of them. (Kuna mamba lakini ni wachache si kama hapo awali). The crocodiles (mamba) are in all forms of shapes, some in terms of political leaders, some in terms of political institutions and that the status quo is always unwilling to change," he said.
The lawmaker made the remarks on K24's Punchline show on Sunday night.
Asked if Deputy President William Ruto is among the hindrances, considering that he has been against Raila's every move, Orengo said that to some extent he is.
"The Deputy President to some extent, but he is not our worry because he belongs to another party. But I think the problem is that that party seems to be dysfunctional, and it was our hope that he should be reading from the same script with the president and leader of our party," he added.
