ODM leader Raila Odinga has launched a scathing attack on the Jubilee administration accusing it of condoning corruption.
Raila said Kenya is suffering from corruption, which he noted is at an all-time high and spreading its tentacles to all levels of government.
He said it's only a few individuals with friends and relatives in high positions in government that are benefitting from the corruption.
"Jubilee has descended on our nation like armyworms and cockroaches, eating and stealing anything and everything that can be eaten or stolen. A tiny elite with relatives and friends in government are carrying money around in sacks like charcoal while millions of other Kenyans struggle to pay for basics like food, rent, school fees and even bus fare," said Raila in a statement on Friday.
The former Prime Minister further accused Jubilee of sabotaging devolution.
"The national government of non-believers has declared a full-scale war against devolution, giving it a bad name and sabotaging its operations with a bid to returning the country to the old over-centralised order that reduced others to beggars for development funds in our own country where we all pay taxes," Raila told the delegates from the Western region on Friday.
He said the President Uhuru led administration has failed to address challenges such as insecurity, tribalism, joblessness and marginalisation .
"We have seen economic policies that will have grave consequences on regions and communities being implemented across the country without any sense of guilt. Here in Western, the importation of sugar, which Jubilee allowed in return for exporting milk to Uganda, is taking a toll on sugar cane farmers."
He said getting a government job or supply tender now depends on one's tribe and "whom you know and not what you know."
He added that tax monies that are meant to build factories and create jobs for youth are instead going into people's pockets and bank accounts; yet when the opposition raises the alarm, the authorities embark on blame-game and blackmail to make them silent.
He said it is time for ODM to save the country from going to the ruins.
"We have to save Kenya from Jubilee. Kenyans are looking up to us, ODM, to stand up to Jubilee and stop it from getting a second term next year."
He reiterated his remarks that Kenyans have a date with destiny in the 2017 elections.
"As I told you at the National Governing Council in Nairobi last month, winning the 2017 elections is not about ODM or Cord being in power. It is about saving Kenya. It is about safeguarding the future of our children and grandchildren.Our country is banking on us," Raila told the delegates from the Western region on Friday.
"I am in turn banking on you delegates and the entire diligent people of Western Kenya to traverse the entire region and enable our people to prepare for the battle with Jubilee. It is going to be a titanic battle for the soul of Kenya," he added.
The ODM party members were from Kakamega, Busia, Bungoma, Trans Nzoia and Vihiga counties.
