ODM leader Raila Odinga on Thursday held a meeting with allied Cabinet members and the party’s parliamentary leadership.
In a statement, Raila said the discussions focused on national and emerging issues. However, he did not disclose further details about the deliberations.
The leaders included Mining and Blue Economy CS Hassan Joho, MSMEs CS Wycliffe Oparanya, Energy CS Opiyo Wandayi, EAC and ASAL CS Beatrice Askul, Treasury CS John Mbadi, Kilifi Senator Stewart Madzayo and National Assembly Minority Leader Junet Mohamed.
Earlier, Raila declined an offer to join the opposition, reaffirming his commitment to the government.
Defending his stand to support the government, the former Prime Minister stated that the country is bigger than one individual and “we must defend it.”
Admitting that there are still problems facing the country including ensuring a free and fair election, he expressed optimism that with time this will solved.
“Before we reach there, we must all sacrifice. Where we are is not where we wanted to be but the country must move forward, that is why we are saying let us unite," Raila said.
President William Ruto and Raila signed a pact recently to work together in finding solutions to problems facing the country.
