Tom Ojienda (Kisumu), Shakeel Shabir (Kisumu Town East), Caroli Omondi (Suba South), Elisha Odhiambo (Gem), Gideon Ochanda (Bondo), and Mark Nyamita were among the other ODM legislators present at the meeting (Uriri).
President Ruto stated in a statement that leaders must join hands, create coexistence, and collaborate to address the difficulties affecting our country.
“They must endeavour to lead by example and serve the interest of the people. This is a sure route to a more united and developed Kenya,” he stated.
Political pundits have claimed that President Ruto is wooing ODM legislators to his side even as party leader Raila Odinga claims he does not recognise the current government.
In his most recent public rally, the former Prime Minister said that the Kenya Kwanza administration should resign as it is a product of electoral fraud, noting that the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission subverted the will of the people.
He also scoffed at Ruto for targeting the Kenyatta family, accusing him of doublespeak on matters of taxation, claiming that the real tax cheats and lords of corruption are in government.
