Raila demands immediate resignation of two state officials appointed by Ruto to UDA
Raila though ODM calls for the resignation of State officers appointed to run United Democratic Alliance (UDA) elections
Raila though ODM calls for the resignation of State officers appointed to run United Democratic Alliance (UDA) elections.
The Orange Democratic Party (ODM) now was Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) chairman Anthony Mwaura and KPLC Board Chair Joy Mdivo resigned from office after they were appointed to the UDA Party organs.
Addressing the media on Wednesday, April 3, Raila in a statement by ODM Secretary General Edwin Sifuna said state officials cannot serve the interests of Kenyans and political parties at the same time.
He argued that the move would be a replica of what was witnessed in the KANU regime in 1980’s where public servants and party leaders were one and the same thing.
The Nairobi Senator claimed that the UDA Party’s move would result in dictatorship and partisanship in the management of public affairs.
“We take the position that this development is wrong, it is a recipe for chaos and dictatorship and partisanship in the management of public affairs. Consequently, we demand that all those people who have been named as UDA officials must immediately resign from public office. There is no way they will serve two masters the public and the UDA Party,” said Sifuna.
