Azimio brigade led by ODM party leader Raila Odinga and Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka have told Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua to respect the ongoing Bipartisan talks.
Speaking at Omobera Boarding Primary in Kenyenya, Bomachoge Chache, during a fundraiser, Kalonzo claimed Gachagua was belittling the ongoing talks.
"He should respect the talks. These talks are not for nothing," Kalonzo said.
All that has been laid on the table for discussions, he said, has already been agreed on.
"Kenya must move forward as a united indivisible entity. If he (Gachagua) has any divergent views, let him freely share with the committee," the Wiper leader said.
The sentiments were shared by other leaders among them Kisii Governor Simba Arati, MPs Obadiah Barongo (Bomachoge Borabu) and Anthony Kibagendi (Kitutu Chache South).
Other leaders present included ODM party treasurer Timothy Bosire who said the party still strongly believes Raila won the polls.
He said this is why they are agitating for the opening of the servers.
"They should be reopened because we believe our victory was stolen," he said.
Azimio leader Raila Odinga also protested against the high cost of University education in the country.
"Those guys (Kenya Kwanza) were talking about hustlers, the mama mbogas and other struggling cadres in society but they had since abandoned them on the wayside," he said.
Raila said the sudden sharp increment in university fees runs counter to what Azimio had initially proposed in its manifesto.
"We had purposed that education be made free from primary to university. We can't say we are out empowering the poor when we are excluding the poor from education," he said.
Raila asked the Kenya Kwanza administration to give governors the mandate to handle the housing project saying they are better placed to handle the project.
"We must make devolution work but it can only function if money is disbursed and fund markets, health, education, only can Kenyans enjoy the fruits of devolution," he said.
