Thursday, February 29, 2024 - Narc Kenya Leader Martha Karua has broken her silence on reports that former Prime Minister Raila Odinga sealed a deal with President William Ruto to appoint her and other Azimio leaders into government.
While responding to a question directed at her
regarding the arrangement, Karua insisted that she was not privy to the deal and
other favours as alleged online.
"Martha Karua, I hope this is fake news. Kenyans can
only take so much," a journalist Rasna Warah reached out to Karua over a
news headline reading 'Key Raila Allies to Land State Jobs in Ruto Deal.'
Responding to the journalist, Karua wrote, "Not
aware!"
Her response came hours after Digital Strategist Dennis
Itumbi also dismissed the claims of Raila allies landing key government
appointments.
"There is no deal on state positions for allies! We promised Kenya it is not about positions but jobs.
"We will keep the
promise," Itumbi insisted.
The reports went viral following the meeting between
President Ruto and Raila in Uganda where they met President Yoweri Kaguta
Museveni in a bid to win his support for Baba’s AU Chairmanship bid.
The Heads of State vowed to popularise and support Raila in
his quest to head the continental body.
Speaking in Homa Bay on Tuesday, Ruto noted that his support
for Raila's candidature of the African Union Commission was a way of uniting
the country.
