Saturday, July 20, 2024 - Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah launched a fiery attack on Azimio Leader Raila Odinga, accusing him of betraying his Opposition roots by aligning with President William Ruto's government.
In a statement, Omtatah minced
no words, labeling Odinga’s recent political maneuver as “political
prostitution”.
“This kind of greed, and political prostitution are not acceptable.
"You can do prostitution with the old
order, but I think the new order, which is exposed, cannot allow political
prostitutes,” Omtatah declared.
“And unfortunately, Baba has turned out to be a political prostitute, who cannot resist the temptation to go into bed with any offer.
"That is thereby an illegitimate government,” he added.
Raila has become one of
President Ruto’s closest allies amidst the ongoing political upheaval within
the Kenya Kwanza administration.
Raila, once a fierce critic of
Ruto’s government, has faced mounting pressure to denounce the administration
he previously labeled as 'illegitimate'.
He has even supported dialogue
between Ruto and the furious Gen Zs, who are pressuring the president to resign
due to bad governance and corruption.
And that is not all, Baba has
dismissed calls for Ruto’s resignation, urging the young people to embrace
dialogue for the country's sake.
However, Omtatah dismissed the notion that Odinga’s actions were for the country’s benefit, stating,
"Raila is just angling for his own stomach.
"He is not angling for anybody's stomach.
"He has not even demanded justice for the kids who died.
"How
can it be rushing to go to bed?"
"Before negotiating
with a criminal, why would you need the man that a criminal comes clean when
what has happened to this country?” he added.
