Wednesday, July 10, 2024 - Azimio Leader Raila Odinga has moved to absolve himself from the blame over the high cost of living, saying President William Ruto is solely to blame.
In a statement yesterday, Raila accused Ruto
and his government of deliberately blocking the cost of living issue from the
National Dialogue Committee (NADCO) agenda.
According to him, the Azimio faction had
proposed to have NADCO discuss matters related to the cost of living, a request
which was declined by Ruto’s representatives.
Raila claimed that the government thwarted
attempts to have talks revolving around this particular issue, labelling it as
“strictly a government affair”.
"As Azimio we wanted the matter of the
cost of living to be discussed as part of NADCO. Kenya Kwanza insisted “that it
was strictly a government affair,” read his statement in part.
He further lamented that the matter having not
been discussed, was still a pertinent issue facing a majority of Kenyans
According to Raila, the high-cost living
burden saddled on Kenyans was a major cause of heightened political
temperatures in the country.
“However, as is evident even today, the cost
of living is the most important issue,” added Raila.
