Kalonzo na viongozi wa upinzani washambuliwa na wahuni Migori, vioo vya magari vyapasuliwa
NAIROBI, Kenya – Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka urged the Luo community to uphold Raila Odinga's political vision during his tour in Migori County, despite the former Prime Minister's passing. Kalonzo emphasized that the journey to "Canaan," a term used to describe their political goals, remains ongoing, and it is crucial for the remaining supporters to continue the struggle for those ideals.
Addressing the crowd in Sori, Kalonzo called for unity among Raila's supporters in backing the opposition's push for political transformation. He accused some politicians of feigning friendship with Raila while disregarding his ideals. Kalonzo reminisced about his 15-year partnership with Raila, highlighting his consistent support for the latter's presidential ambitions.
He credited Raila for introducing the 2010 Constitution and devolution, which greatly benefited counties like Migori, Homa Bay, and Machakos. Kalonzo vowed to carry forward the fight for a country where young people can exercise their rights without fear of unlawful arrests, referencing the tragic death of blogger Albert Ojwang in police custody.
The Wiper leader also criticized the current administration, accusing President William Ruto of corruption and failing to address the rising cost of living, including fuel prices, financial burdens on universities, and unpaid teachers. Revisiting the 'tired donkey' message, Kalonzo lamented the deterioration of the economic situation, stating that even the donkey had fallen down.
He called for opposition unity ahead of the 2027 General Election, asserting that President Ruto had lost his political influence throughout Kenya. Kalonzo pledged to work alongside other opposition leaders to unite Kenyans behind the opposition movement, aiming to preserve Raila's legacy of constitutionalism, devolution, and human rights.
