Martha Karua, leader of the People’s Liberation Party, has firmly rejected the idea of working with former Prime Minister Raila Odinga again.
This comes amid speculations about a potential deal between Odinga and President William Ruto.
During an interview on KTN News, Karua expressed her disbelief that it would be possible to collaborate with Odinga, as he has not made a clear decision regarding whether he intends to join the current government or remain in the opposition.
Karua emphasized that Odinga’s current actions, which involve working with the government without a formal agreement with President Ruto, are both unsustainable and contrary to the law.
She pointed out that Odinga’s situation of having one foot in the government and one in the opposition was not only confusing but also illegal.
“It is clear that this situation cannot continue,” Karua said. “At this point, Raila seems to be in two minds—part of him is in the government, and part of him is in the opposition.
This situation is against the law and cannot be sustained any longer,” she explained.
According to Karua, the opposition would not accept Odinga and his supporters working with President Ruto’s administration unless they formalize their relationship through a legal agreement.
She urged Odinga to make a firm decision about his political future, suggesting that he either form a post-election coalition with the government or fully align with the opposition.
Karua stressed that any attempt to keep things ambiguous or unclear would not be tolerated, and the opposition would push for a proper, constitutional arrangement.
“We cannot allow the ongoing illegal arrangement within the Kenya Kwanza government to continue.
Odinga and his allies need to come to the table and formalize their political alliance with Ruto, as required by the law,” she said.
This development comes at a crucial time as Odinga is expected to make a significant announcement soon about his political direction, deciding whether he will join Ruto’s government or stay in the opposition.
On March 6, Odinga wrapped up a nationwide consultative tour, during which he met with various groups to discuss the country’s challenges.
His final meeting took place in Nairobi, where he urged the government to address pressing issues, such as the ongoing problems with the Social Health Authority (SHA).
Additionally, during a separate consultative meeting in Wajir, Odinga dismissed the possibility of collaborating with former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua ahead of the 2027 general elections.
