Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) members have sent a message to their party leader Raila Odinga following his new deal with President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Speaking on Tuesday shortly after concluding the ODM Parliamentary group meeting at Orange House, the members asked Raila to desist from being destructed by individuals laying the ground for their bids ahead of the 2022 polls.
In a statement read by Suna East MP Junet Mohammed, the members asked Raila to keep an eye on the big picture and focus on the fight for an inclusive and fair Kenya.
“The PG encouraged the Party Leader Raila Odinga to stay focused on the big picture and the struggle for a better, just, inclusive and fair Kenya and refuse to be destructed by those positioning themselves for 2022,” read the statement in part.
The members further urged Raila to advocate for the country’s unity and reconciliation by ensuring justice is served for the victims of post-election violence.
“The members encouraged the party leader to use this engagement to seek Justice for the victims of post-election violence as a way to finding the lasting reconciliation and unity of the nation,” said Junet.
The meeting comes a day after National Super Alliance (NASA) principals on Monday resolved that affiliate parties should deliberate on the outcome of the meeting between Raila and Uhuru.
