Moses Kuria, Former Cabinet Secretary praised ODM leader Raila Odinga for joining the government of national unity and encouraging Kenyans to embrace dialogue.
Through a message posted on X after meeting with Raila at his Capitol Hill office in Nairobi on Monday, Kuria “thanked Baba for bending backwards—yet again—to save the country from self-destruction.”
“We unanimously agreed that we cannot continue to prescribe Panadol when surgery is required,” he said. Kuria added that the upcoming process of national dialogue “must and will” lead to deliberate structural reform for a lasting solution.
“We will work very closely in that endeavor as we continue to consult with other like-minded leaders,” he said.
Raila approved the new government formation, which includes four members nominated to the Cabinet. President William Ruto has nominated ODM’s two deputy party leaders, Hassan Joho and Wycliffe Oparanya, the party’s chairman John Mbadi, and National Assembly Minority Leader Opiyo Wandayi to his Cabinet.
President William Ruto has reiterated his intention to form a government of national unity to unite all Kenyans. He acknowledged that the youth protests that have shaken the country over the past month are a wake-up call that the era of parochial politics is over. Ruto has urged his critics and all Kenyans to support his vision of a government of national unity.
