There is nothing speacial with Raila Odinga concerning the running of government affairs.
This is according to former presidential candidate Ekuru Aukot.
In an article he wrote to the Star on Tuesday, Aukot said that the president would be wasting his time if he were to engage in talks with Raila at the expense of other 'better' leaders.
"As the head of government, Uhuru can trigger various political, economic and social reactions. How he will implement his agenda matters a lot," he said.
"Why should Uhuru dialogue with NASA leader Raila Odinga and not Ekuru Aukot or Abduba Dida or Prof Michael Wainaina? What is so special with Raila that Uhuru must dialogue with him?" he asked.
He further hit out at Raila saying he abandoned the battle for Kenya's leadership and should therefore not be considered when framing the future of the country.
"
The guy abandoned the presidential rerun. We need to remove
some people's nonsense of entitlement. I expect Uhuru’s administration
to fix Kenyans' problems to isolate these self-appointed people who feel
they are entitled," he said.
