Raila gives in too easily, Azimio lawmaker complains
Raila gives in too easily according to Azimio lawmaker, Caleb Amisi who lamented how Mr. Odinga let the majority in the national assembly slip to Ruto’s alliance.
Caleb Amisi, a member of parliament (MP) from Saboti, has bemoaned the fact that he occasionally disputes with his party’s leader Raila Odinga due to the ease with which he concedes.
According to Amisi, if Raila had been elected president, he would have had no difficulty granting the Kenya Kwanza alliance a majority in the National Assembly.
The Saboti MP claimed that his party leader occasionally made poor decisions in the name of democracy because he is too forgiving.
“If baba was the president faced with majority leadership issue in Bunge (parliament), he would have let it go to Kenya Kwanza in the name of democratic principles. This is where I sometimes disagree with my party leader. He is too good and easily gives in,” Amisi tweeted.
Caleb Amisi’s tweet came after National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula ruled that Kenya Kwanza Coalition was the Majority party in the House.

On Thursday, October 6, 2022, Wetang’ula addressed the National Assembly and announced the decision, putting an end to a debate between the Kenya Kwanza and Azimio la Umoja One Kenya factions, both of which asserted to be the Majority coalitions.
Addressing the House, Wetang’ula ruled out that the Azimio coalition party comprised 26 political parties but some parties left the coalition to join Kenya Kwanza.
He announced that Kenya Kwanza had 179 MPs against Azimio which he said had 157 MPs.
The announcement on Thursday caused an uproar among members of the Azimio team who felt the decision was unfair.
