Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has reiterated that he will not back down on his unity deal with President William Ruto, asserting that it is aimed at improving Kenya for the better.
In a thinly veiled attack on former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, Raila emphasised that he made an independent decision to work with Ruto and rejected calls to collaborate with his opposition colleagues.
The ODM leader mocked Gachagua's past remarks, in which he had vowed to ensure Raila would never work with Ruto by "setting traps that would prevent him from accessing State House". "Hatutaki unafiki ya mtu alisema ameweka mtego (we do not want hypocrisy from someone who said he had set traps for us).
Now those who set traps for us have been caught in them themselves," he said when he hosted an Iftar dinner for Muslim leaders in Nairobi on Tuesday.
