- “In democracy you have to agree there is a moment you will win and there is a moment you will lose. Even for Raila, if you are a true democrat respect the will and wishes of the people of Kenya. You cannot all the time, on every election season say that something has gone wrong,” he said.
- “You had a chance in fact the best chance of your career. You and your supporters had the Deep State as you pronounced then. Kenyans made a decisive decision and voted for President William Ruto. What we are asking you (Raila) is, who handed over the instruments of power to Ruto? If it was not your Chairman for Azimio (Uhuru Kenyatta) then confess to Kenyans whom it was,” said Mudavadi.
Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has termed the Azimio demands of opening the IEBC servers for verification of the August 2022 General Elections as fictitious and dishonest.
Mudavadi who was speaking in Chandumba Village of Kilingili Sub-Location in his Sabatia backyard, Vihiga County said the Azimio wing led by ODM leader Raila Odinga is hoodwinking Kenyans to believe that the elections were not free and fair.
“The Azimio side took their petition to the Supreme Court and presented its evidence as stipulated under the law. In its directive the supreme Court ordered and authorized the opening of servers to verify if what was tallied at Bomas reflected the exact results transmitted from the polling centres. It is on record that both the Azimio lawyers and their Kenya Kwanza counterparts accompanied the Registrar of the Supreme Court through this exercise. Raila is forgetting that what he is asking for now was granted to him long time ago,” said Mudavadi.
He added, “Raila is not being honest at all. The persistence in the quest of opening the servers triggers a lot of questions. What is this they had hidden in the servers? Begs the question?”.
Mudavadi who on Saturday poked holes into Azimio’s stand on the quest to go back to the streets after Ramadhan, said Raila and his troops have reluctantly disregarded the spirit of the constitution and the rule of law stating that they have now become the enemies of progress in upholding democracy in Kenya.
“In democracy you have to agree there is a moment you will win and there is a moment you will lose. Even for Raila, if you are a true democrat respect the will and wishes of the people of Kenya. You cannot all the time, on every election season say that something has gone wrong,” he said.
“You had a chance in fact the best chance of your career. You and your supporters had the Deep State as you pronounced then. Kenyans made a decisive decision and voted for President William Ruto. What we are asking you (Raila) is, who handed over the instruments of power to Ruto? If it was not your Chairman for Azimio (Uhuru Kenyatta) then confess to Kenyans whom it was,” said Mudavadi.
Mudavadi said Kenyans are not persuaded with the call for demonstrations at this time in pretense of agitating about the high cost of living. He added that what Kenya Kwanza is working on is to seize this opportunity, unite Kenyans and work towards the resuscitation of the economy.
He called on Raila to be candid enough and face Kenyan families and individuals who have lost loved ones and property and tell them who will compensate them at this time and period when the economy is at its lowest hit.
“This call for dialogue is a sign of the realization by Raila and Azimio that they cannot bail out those who have been charged as a result of the demonstrations. Economic sabotage is what we are witnessing in the few towns where demonstrations are being staged. They have realized that you have to fund maandamano. What we are asking Raila, how unfair are you, that you can’t contribute even a cent to the owners whose property has been destroyed through maandamano” remarked Mudavadi.
The mourners and other Kenyans who were present at the funeral service of businessman Patrick Amugune Najoli, a longtime friend to Mudavadi, were quick to point out that Kisumu City has now become the unsafest city to invest in, as a result of the weekly demos. Rallying together with Mudavadi’s plea to them the residents of Vihiga County together with their leaders, vowed not at all to participate in any kind of protests called by Azimio.
“I just posed the question to you and you are the ones who have mentioned Kisumu. Nothing could be further from the truth,” said Mudavadi.
He pleaded further with Kenyans that it is time to work and build the nation calling upon the leadership at all levels, from the opposition and government to have a common understanding of the tough times Kenyans are going through and resolve to serve the people.
“Let us keep apside our political differences. Elections are over. The constitutional timelines put the next General Elections to 2027. Observers came, IGAD, The Commonwealth, The United Nations and other, their resolve was a process was undertaken democratically and the chapter for elections is closed,” said Mudavadi.
He called for genuine dialogue that is structured and anchored on the spirit of benefiting the common Mwananchi and not for self interest and political gain. He emphasized that every life and property matters, and the spirit of cohesion and togetherness is what should bond Kenyans towards the realization of the big goal of economic empowerment.
“In this spirit we are working on the Kenya Kwanza manifesto and PLAN. We have to implement what we promised Kenyans. We can’t implement Azimio’s agenda. Even in the U.S Biden is not implementing Trump’s policies,” he remarked.
He revealed that President William Ruto will soon be visiting Vihiga County to commission and open a number of development projects among them initiating the completion of key roads that will be upgraded to tarmac.
