They all finished their terms,\u201d Junet retorted<\/p>\n<p>He also took a subtle jab at the opposition\u2019s lack of policy proposals, questioning why Kenyans should trust a group that has no solid plan to develop the nation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re forming alliances with no agenda for mama mboga or boda bodas, and your big idea is to shout someone out of office? That\u2019s not politics,\u201dhe remarked.<\/p>\n<p>The Suna East MP made it clear he\u2019s standing firmly with President Ruto and the Kenya Kwanza-ODM cooperation pact, warning ODM colleagues who stray off-message to stop playing politics of provocation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome of our people in ODM think politics is about who shouts the loudest. Let me remind them we signed 10 agreements to bring Kenyans together. That\u2019s the script I\u2019m reading from.

Let\u2019s stay united. Kenya belongs to all of us whether you\u2019re in government or opposition, do your job, and do it with dignity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>This coming days after Former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang\u2019i officially declared his intention to run for the presidency in the 2027 General Election during a homecoming event at Gusii Stadium in Kisii County.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NYERI, Kenya, May 4 \u2013 Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua on Sunday hosted his opposition allies at his Wamunyoro residence in Nyeri County.
