Azimio la Umoja leader Raila Odinga spoke out on the country’s economic situation and announced plans for a support fund to aid victims of recent demonstrations.
Amidst a blame game over the state of the nation, Raila addressed the international media, shedding light on the government’s performance since former President Uhuru Kenyatta’s departure from office in September last year.
Raila Odinga refuted the constant blame on Uhuru Kenyatta’s regime for the country’s current state, stating, “You are blaming Former President Uhuru Kenyatta’s regime for the state of the country yet he left the government last year in September. We are now in July, and you have run this government for the last 10 months. We expected to see some change within that period of time.”
Highlighting the state of the economy, Raila pointed to the government’s bad policies as a significant factor contributing to the challenges faced by the nation. He emphasized that the blame should not rest solely on Kenyatta’s previous administration.
