Friday, August 2, 2024 - NARC-Kenya Party Leader Martha Karua has called out ODM Leader Raila Odinga, accusing him of hijacking the Gen Z movement for his selfish benefit.
Speaking during an interview,
Karua blasted Raila for dancing on the graves of fallen Gen Zs by using them to
advance his political agenda and secure plum jobs for his ODM allies in
President William Ruto’s government.
According to Karua, the call for
accountability within the government by the youthful protesters was neither an
Azimio nor an ODM push, but somehow Baba has emerged as the winner.
“I am against hijacking the demand for accountability by the Gen Zs and making it an opposition thing.
"Let
the Gen Zs express themselves so that we can examine their demands,” Karua
stated.
"I believe each of their
demands is rooted in the constitution including accountability. What the Gen Zs
are asking is putting Kenya first," she added.
At the same time, Karua
dismissed the call for a national conversation by Ruto and Raila, claiming the
dialogue would not address any of the issues raised by Kenyans across the
board.
"Do the things that the Gen Zs are saying, If you exit and want us to talk after you exit then that is okay.
"If people show a lack of confidence in you then you should resign,"
the former Azimio principal noted.
Karua's sentiments come a week
after she formally announced her exit from Azimio due to political
differences within the coalition.
