According to the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party leader, there is much work that needs to be done in 2022.

The former Prime Minister further urged Kenyans to promote unity and nationhood among themselves.

"We enter 2020 with much work to be done. It is my hope that we will jointly build on the foundation laid in 2019, which built on the choices we made in 2018, so that we continue building bridges among our people to secure lasting unity and a greater sense of nationhood," Raila Odinga stated through his official Website.

He went ahead to point out that he will be at the forefront of finding solutions to some of the problems that have been ailing the country including corruption, poverty, unemployment among others.

"I equally look forward to sharing ideas on and supporting all efforts to address poverty, marginalization and unemployment of the youth and rising cost of living. Unity for common good will be critical if we are to create a nation in which right is right and wrong is wrong. So far, unity has worked with the war on corruption," Raila stated in the statement.

Raila had earlier indicated that the debate on the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) report which he has been campaigning for will kick off in January.

Raila further vowed that he will boost Kenya's relations to other countries in Africa using his post as the African Union High Representative For infrastructure Development.
