Sunday, December 11, 2022 –Majority leader in the National Assembly Kimani Ichung’wah has moved to calm the storm over the creation of the office of the opposition leader.
Confirming that plans to create the office for the opposition are on, MP Ichung’wah said this move is only meant to improve democracy in the country.
He told off those linking the new office to a Raila Odinga-William Ruto Handshake saying this was a misinformation from those who do not understand ‘democracy and governance’.
He termed it a misconception by the people who think this was another ‘sweet deal’ for Raila who is threatening to go full throttle with public demonstrations.
“People should not get confused that the President has extended an olive branch to Raila or probably a handshake,” he stated.
He reminded the audience how the Uhuru-Raila March 9, 2018 handshake messed up the whole country and said there can never be a repeat of the same under President William Ruto.
“The position the President is seeking our support in Parliament to create is not meant for an individual. It is a position that will strengthen and deepen democracy and create greater accountability,” he explained.
He made the remarks during an interdenominational Church Service at Wanjohi Primary School, Kipipiri Constituency in the presence of President William Ruto, Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, and Nyandarua governor Kiarie Badilisha.
Also present in the service were legislators Wanjiku Muhia (Kipipiri), Ndindi Nyoro (Kiharu), Faith Gitau (Nyandarua Woman Rep), and John Methu (Nyandarua senator).
