Kalonzo Musyoka Stands Firm Against Joining Government After Raila Odinga’s Move
Kalonzo Musyoka, leader of the Azimio La Umoja coalition, addressed the recent political developments following Raila Odinga’s decision to join President William Ruto’s administration.
Speaking at a press conference attended by other key Azimio leaders, Musyoka unequivocally reaffirmed his stance of not joining the government, despite widespread speculation.
Musyoka took this opportunity to deny rumors suggesting that he was offered the position of Attorney General by President Ruto. He emphasized that no official position had been extended to him.
Reflecting on his past roles as a Cabinet Secretary and Vice President, Musyoka articulated his belief that accepting a role in Ruto’s government would undermine his commitment to the fight for good governance and justice for Kenyans.
The former Vice President expressed his strong disapproval of Odinga’s decision to align with Ruto’s administration.
Musyoka argued that such a move represents a betrayal of the principles for which many Kenyans, particularly the youth, have sacrificed their lives.
He stated that despite the changing political landscape, he remains steadfast in his resolve to advocate for systemic change and transparency, rather than compromise his values for a government post.
Musyoka’s statements come amidst a shifting political terrain in Kenya, where alliances and positions are rapidly evolving.
His firm stance against joining the government highlights his dedication to his political principles and his ongoing commitment to the broader cause of reform and justice in Kenya.
