Cord Principal Raila Odinga has accused the Jubilee government of failing to implement land reforms in Coast.
Speaking in Kilifi County on Saturday, Raila said the Jubilee government had given the Coast people a raw deal and added that the recent appointment of former political leaders to parastatal boards was aimed at luring the region to support President Kenyatta’s re-election in the next general election.
“All appointments to the big posts in this government are going to two tribes. The recent appointment of old politicians from the region to parastatals is like leftovers given to dogs,” said Raila.
Raila further alleged that the funds the government had acquired had been stolen and stashed in offshore accounts.
The Cord hierarchy also blamed Jubilee for poor performance of the tourism sector following increased cases of insecurity and promised to reopen investigations into political assassinations since independence should Cord clinch the reigns of the country in the next general elections.
Cord further accused Jubilee of its plan to rig next year’s elections and declared that they were however not afraid of President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto whom they said had failed to implement economic, political and social reforms.
The former Prime Minister concluded his two-day tour in Kilifi yesterday.
