Raila and his ODM team have been asked to toe the president's line or leave the broad-based government.
Raila and his ODM team have been asked to toe the president’s line or leave the broad-based government.
Wrangles could be looming within the broad-based government as President William Ruto and ODM leader Raila Odinga’s lieutenants hold onto their tough stances regarding their partnership.
Nyaribari Chache MP ODM Zaheer Jhanda has dared the Raila-led team to consider quitting government instead of undertaking opposition whilst inside the regime.
The lawmaker elected on a UDA party ticket challenged his counterparts from ODM to revert to the opposition after their recent pronouncements in public.
For instance, Suba North MP Millie Odhiambo is on record declaring that the ODM party will challenge the government against police brutality while still in government.

Millie, elected under ODM, was categorical that they were not intending to walk out on the broad-based government, but would champion the interests of Kenyans within the precincts of power.
It is such that angered the likes of Jhanda.
The MP asked the Raila loyalists to quit, and the Cabinet Secretaries nominated from the ODM faction to resign and resume full opposition roles.
“ODM should not threaten or lecture us on how to run the Government or human rights issues. They have never won any elections. If they’re uncomfortable in the broad-based government, then they should move out fast. We won the elections without you. Ask your ministers to resign, and then we shall take you serious. Otherwise keep quiet and respect President William Ruto,” Jhanda fired.
Raila and Ruto entered a working pact in March year; their pact stipulated 10 issues the partnership would be based on.
