Former Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria has hailed ODM leader Raila Odinga for agreeing to be part of the government of national unity and urging Kenyans to embrace dialogue.
In a message posted on X after a meeting with Raila at his Capitol Hill office in Nairobi on Monday, Kuria “thanked Baba for bending backwards- yet again- to save the country from self-destruction.”
“We were unanimous that going forward we cannot continue to prescribe Panadol where surgery is required,” he said.
Kuria added that the upcoming process of national dialogue “must and will” culminate in deliberate structural reform for a lasting solution.
“We will work very, very closely in that endeavour as we continue to consult with other like-minded leaders,” he said.
Raila has continued with his calls for what he calls a constructive national dialogue saying it is the right thing to do to resolve the problems facing the nation.
The ODM leader gave a nod to the new government formation that has four members nominated to the Cabinet.
The president has nominated ODM's two deputy party leaders (Hassan Joho and Wycliffe Oparanya), the party's chairman John Mbadi and National Assembly Minority Leader Opiyo Wandayi to his Cabinet.
President William Ruto on his part has been reiterating his intent to form a government of national unity that will bring all Kenyans together.
He has admitted that the protests by the youth that have rocked the country in the past month are a wake-up call that the days of parochial politics were over.
Ruto has urged his critics and all Kenyans to embrace his idea of a government of national unity.
