Monday, February 28, 2022 – National Assembly Speaker, Justin Bedan Muturi, has castigated former Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s Azimio La Umoja Movement, saying the bandwagon represents the ‘old order’
Speaking in Nanyuki on Saturday, Muturi said that Raila’s Azimio slogan was first used by his father, Mzee Jaramogi Oginga Odinga, in 1964.
“We need to focus on our future. We will not allow anyone to take us back to where we came from.
“Azimio was Mzee Jaramogi Oginga Odinga’s campaign tune in 1964. Hiyo sasa ndo tunashinda tukiimbiwa surely (that’s what we are being told? Surely)?” Muturi said.
Muturi, who is the new party leader of the Democratic Party, cautioned political parties from forging coalitions ahead of the August elections, claiming they might be duped.
The former Siakago Member of Parliament also lambasted Raila Odinga for telling Mt Kenya residents that he was the one who constructed the Thika superhighway.
“There are leaders who only give history saying ‘mimi ndio nilichora Thika highway’, so what?
“I can challenge you, if you go to the ministry, you will not find his signature. Stop lying to us and tell the people what you will do,” Muturi said.
