Raila refuted claims from deputy president that he planned to remove President Uhuru Kenyatta in his second term
He says he is not aware of plotting impeachment claims with any political leaders and he knows nothing about it
The Azimio la Umoja Presidential candidate Raila Odinga has assured kenyans that he will reduce the price of all basic commodities once elected as 6th president of the Republic of kenyan
Addressing lecturers and academician at The Jaramogi Odinga Foundation in Nairobi on Tuesday 29th March, ODM leader Raila said there’s no need of unnecessary reviewing of salaries for civil servants because that will not solve the problems
“Reducing prices for basic commodities will address the high cost of living and that’s where our focus should be.
“Most of civil servants and workers wouldn’t complain of their salaries if primary needs would be at a reasonable price,” Raila said
He further affirmed his commitment to ensure foreign direct investment to foster economy and diversify market, lower costs of labor, subsidies and increased tax incentives
The University Academic Staff Union (UASU) Secretary General Charles Wasonga confirmed their unwavering support towards the Azimio coalition’s leaders
Responding the question from citizen journalist on whether he connived with deputy president William Ruto to oust President Uhuru Kenyatta in his second term, Raila gave a wide birth saying he is “unaware” of reports that some leaders, including himself, were planning to impeach President Uhuru Kenyatta after 2017 polls.
“I am not aware about those claims. So, I have nothing to say. I don’t want to get involved,” he said.
