Mbeere North MP Geoffrey Ruku has suggested that Kenyans should consider declaring the former prime minister Raila Odinga a threat to the country's economy.
As per the legislator's remarks, Kenyans should label Raila as an economic threat due to his consistent actions whenever a government aims to take steps in terms of the economy.
MP Ruku cited an instance during Kibaki's era when Raila allegedly incited anarchy and chaos that adversely impacted the economy. He further claimed that Raila is currently repeating similar actions during William Ruto's administration, raising concerns about potential economic sabotage.
"Anytime the nation makes a step in the right direction, Raila comes up with anarchy and chaos. We witnessed this during Kibaki's administration and we are witnessing the same now. It's high time Kenyans declare Raila as the biggest threat to economic development and the internal and external security of this nation," MP Geoffrey Ruku said.
A well-known politician in Kenya named Raila Odinga has a long history of being intimately involved with protests. Odinga, a prominent member of the opposition, has frequently advocated for political reforms, social justice, and accountability through the use of protests.
Odinga has organized and taken part in several protests throughout Kenya's history to demand transparent elections, constitutional amendments, and inclusive governance. He has played a significant role in influencing the political landscape of the nation thanks to his ability to inspire large crowds during these protests.
While some commend Odinga's commitment to democratic principles and his work elevating public voices, others condemn the disruptive nature of protests, which occasionally results in altercations with the law.
Odinga has pushed for nonviolent protests in recent years, stressing the significance of this in bringing about significant change. Raila Odinga's legacy as a pivotal role in Kenya's history of protests is still a source of appreciation and contention as the country's political landscape changes.
