Kiraitu Murungi who has been an ally to Raila for quite long scolds the Azimio coalition leader over nationwide demonstrations.

The former Meru Governor said that opposition and Azimion leader Raila Odinga is looking for a way to join the Kenya Kwanza government. 

Kiraitu was speaking on Saturday, 22, April 2022 when he joined President William Ruto in Meru during his tour.

He said Raila is not demonstrating for the cost of living and other demands, but rather looking for a job. 

“There are no demonstrations, someone is applying for a job, he is always in government, ” he said.

The former Governor added that the opposition leader has been in all the past regimes and he is working hard to find himself in the Kenya Kwanza government.

“I have worked with him (Raila) and we have so far seen him in three regimes. The recent one being the handshake and you know how things went,” Kiraitu said. 

Kiraitu, who was backing Raila’s ambition for the presidency in the 2022 elections, has since switched sides and is now staunchly backing President William Ruto. 

He was appointed chairman of the Kenyan National Oil Corporation by Ruto on Friday.

He began his duties on April 20, 2023, and his three-year term is now in effect. 

Kiraitu failed to defend his Meru gubernatorial seat after losing to the current Governor Kawira Mwangaza.
