Azimio lawmaker, Edwin Sifuna alledges of a plot to assassinate Raila after DP Gachagua’s remark.
Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has claimed that there is a plan to assassinate Azimio la Umoja leader Raila Odinga.
In an interview with Citizen TV on Thursday, March 16, Sifuna said that the deputy president’s comments that he would deal with the former prime minister definitively signify an assassination conspiracy.
“There is a very dangerous statement that the Deputy President made yesterday. He said that he is going to deal with Raila with finality this time round ataenda akiendanga. We know there is a plan to assassinate Raila Odinga,” said Sifuna.
“The former prime Minister of Kenya, Raila Odinga, and his father have been disturbing the government for a very long time, it’s time to deal with the former prime Minister of Kenya,” Gachagua said on Wednesday 15 in a meeting at State House.
DP Gachagua said Raila’s long decades of demonstrations will come to an end.
The ODM Secretary General also revealed that they wanted a dialogue with the Kenya Kwanza government.

“We are the ones who wanted to have the conversations. Unfortunately, it is our brothers from the other side who chose to ignore,”
“There are certain matters we felt are very critical and that the Kenya Kwanza administration would address including the high cost of living and prices of food. We are not doing this for ourselves but for the Wananchi who cannot keep up with the high costs,” Sifuna added.
The Azimio lawmaker further stated that Azimio has held peaceful rallies since the beginning of the year but they are still being termed as violent people.
“We have had 21 including today’s rally in Nakuru and no injuries and cases of destruction of properties have been reported, they have been peaceful. Yet people continue to characterize us as people of violence. We understand the law and rights and we intend to use them,” he said.
