Meru county governor Hon. Kiraitu Murungi has asked the opposition chief Raila Odinga to stay in President Uhuru Kenyatta’s government to enable peace, unity and prosperity in the country.
Speaking at Kanyakine hospital in Meru on Tuesday, the governor said that Raila is a brother whom the Jubilee government would want to stay in the house of the head of state.
The governor was clarifying that the Jubilee agreement that the deputy president William Ruto will take over after president Kenyatta still holds adding that, the truce between the NASA leader and the president has not interfered with the MoU.
“We all declared that once president Uhuru Kenyatta’s term ends DP Ruto must take over. The rest are our brothers we would want them in the house of our president so, let Raila get a bedroom in Uhuru’s government so that we can have peace, unity, development and prosperity in the country,” said the governor.
This comes after the famous handshake between Uhuru and Raila whose agreements still remains unclear to the public as some political analysts anticipate that the pact might affect the deputy president’s 2022 political ambitions.
Some loyalty questions have also being raised with Nairobi governor Mike Sonko claiming that Kikuyu leaders will not support Ruto’s presidency.
