“I won’t be a Ruto-like deputy president”, Azimio running mate Martha Karua
Azimio running mate, Martha Karua, has promised to avoid the Uhuruto-like government if they form the next government after the August elections.
President Kenyatta and his deputy have not been reading from the same script since their second term in office leading to wrangles in the government.
And speaking to the press on Monday morning, June 20, Martha karua
fired salvos at the current government, noting that friction within a coalition should not be in the public domain and should be solved behind closed doors.
She pledged to be respectful to her boss, Raila Odinga and solve disputes within the coalition with dignity
The Azimio running mate Martha Karua noted that Kenyans needed to see results, which would be her core mandate within the Azimio administration led by Raila Odinga.
“I know the role that I was called to serve and that is to be Raila’s running mate. So, I will give him the respect he deserves, and likewise, he will do the same. “
“If we have arguments, I will not be the type to talk evil of him. Sometimes, you may differ on opinions but such things are solved behind closed doors. The public wants results and not other theatrics.”
“I respect my captain Raila and I will never disrespect him or Kenyans. I am ready to work for Kenyans, I pray that God guides me,” she reiterated.
Karua recalled her time in the late Mwai Kibaki’s cabinet in 2009, emphasizing that she left in a dignified manner and chose not to lash out at those who obstruct her duties.
“I was a minister in Kibaki’s government before resigning. I delivered in the job I was given. When I resigned I did so respectfully.”
The NARC-Kenya party leader also noted that the Azimio-led administration would be the country’s solution in the fight against corruption.
