ODM leader Raila Odinga has stated that former President Uhuru Kenyatta asked him to talk to President William Ruto to resolve the crisis caused by the Gen Z protests.
Raila stated that Uhuru told him to talk to Ruto because the country was on the brink of chaos as a result of the protests.
“Uhuru told me that I should talk to Ruto because if the country went down, then we have no other country,” Raila said.
The ODM party leader was speaking at the funeral of Mzee Chirchir Masit who was the father of exiled IEBC commissioner Irene Masit.
“It’s Uhuru who called me and told me to talk to Ruto because we have to secure the country and save it from burning,” Raila said.
He said they talked with Ruto on the phone and agreed to meet and discuss the situation in the country.
He said the Gen Zs were not mad and had raised genuine concerns about the country.
“When we spoke, I told Ruto that those he put in government were not serving the country and had to be removed,” Raila stated.
He said they agreed to form a broad-based government to save the country and not a coalition.
