The National Assembly Majority leader Aden Duale now says that President Uhuru Kenyatta's Jubilee Party is not ready to discuss issues of electoral reforms with opposition's NASA coalition.
This follows a truce meeting between NASA leader Raila Odinga and Kenyatta at Harambee House on March 9. The duo said they had agreed to work together and unite Kenyans especially after the controversial presidential elections in 2017.
Odinga said he had resolved to work with Uhuru for the sake of Kenyans, following an MoU between the two of them.
Raila and the coalition were advocating for electoral justice and several other reforms that would ensure a democratic Kenya, before he decided to back Kenyatta's Jubilee administration which he greatly opposed.
However, Duale who is also the Garissa Township MP, said the unity between Odinga and Uhuru should not go beyond uniting Kenyans.
"What we know and briefed is that the two leaders have come together to create ethnic harmony, to create ethnic inclusivity, to create stability for economic growth, to unite the people of Kenya because we have come from a very divisive election and to protect and help Hon. Raila Odinga to protect and preserve his legacy and make him the statesman that he is ought to be," said Duale.
Addressing the press in Garissa on Sunday, the lawmaker added: "So those people who think we're going to come to the table to discuss electoral justice, change of the constitution.. myself as the Leader of Majority, I am not part of that."
He was speaking when he toured a section of a farm in Garissa as he admired the green vegetaion, saying: "Allhamdullilahi Garissa rural looks like the Kericho Tea E states, plenty of pasture and water among The Pastoralist. It’s time to drink plenty of camel milk, so many Guuff (marriage proposal) and kil (purchasing of wedding items) among Somali nomads as the main activity.This is the time when Somali poetry and folk song is displayed at night."
