Leaders from Western Kenya have pledged to continue working with the broad-based government.
Most of them members of the ODM party, pointed out that their late leader, former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, made a bold move to unite the opposition and the government for the sake of national unity and inclusive national transformation.
The leaders spoke at various stops during President William Ruto’s development tour of Busia County on the second of his four-day visit to the Western region that began on Thursday in Kakamega County.
Busia Governor Paul Otwoma said leaders from both the opposition and the government would continue working together to advance the development agenda in line with Odinga’s wishes.
He commended Ruto, saying he had shown commitment to serving all regions and cited the government’s development record in Busia County.
“We were in different camps! We were in Mr Odinga’s camp. However, Odinga joined hands with President Ruto. Unfortunately, he left us, but he left us in government,” he said.
