Kingi said that the ongoing coalition in the country were done on vested
interest by some leaders who are only out to block Prime Minister Raila
Odinga in ascending to power come March 4, 2013.
“These leaders are auctioning their communities to gain political
mileage in forming ethnic alliances. We want peoples’ president that can
unite all Kenyans but not individuals whose agenda is to block Raila to
win the presidency,” he said.
While drumming up support to PM in Nyandiwa Beach, Gwasi Constituency of
Homabay County yesterday, the minister revealed that Raila was the
right person to unite all tribes in the country and addressed their
plights amicably. He was speaking when handing over Nyandiwa Fish
Landing site.
“We follow Raila because of his development performance, reforms and
also non-tribal presidential candidate in the country. He is the only
candidate who will implement the constitution to the letter,” Kingi
said.
He further recalled how PM and other reformist fought for the
re-appealing of the section 2(A) in 1992 under President Daniel Moi’s
regime that brought democratic space that Kenyans are now enjoying.
The minister also wondered where most of the presidential candidates
were when Raila was fighting President Moi to ensure multiparty that are
now in the country.
“You cannot be Otieno today and tomorrow you are Kamau. Mission of some
presidential candidates is to maintain the status quo that has seen most
of the regions marginalized,” Kingi stated.
He said Raila will win the forthcoming election saying the difference of
the PM and other candidates were light and darkness, meaning reformer
and non-reformers.
“Why don’t you be peoples’ president like the Premier instead of being
your own, which majority of the presidential candidates is banking to,”
he said.
The minister further moved to assure Kenyans that ODM party is not
threatened by the ongoing coalition talks with majority auctioning their
community to achieve to their vested interest instead of considering
problems affecting Kenyans.
“ODM will form government next year, saying that people need a
government that will speak in one voice but not a torn government like
the coalition government that have not addressed the expectations of the
citizens.
He further pondered for how long ODM will be hold hostage by some
leaders due to a coalition that people cannot differ on reforms and
ideologies like was witness recently with some self-centered individuals
who were unhappy with the party’s stand.
“Kenyans want a president who will be free and fair to run the
government effectively so as to address the problems they are facing,”
Kingi said.
