Former Subukia MP Koigi wa Wamwere
CORD leader and former prime minster Raila Odinga is using public rallies to engage Government in political guerrilla warfare,former Subukia MP Koigi Wa Wamwere has said.
Koigi said Uhuru won top most trophy during the last general elections while Odinga won in the opposition,both of which are necessary for democracy
“Both trophies are necessary for democracy and their recipients use them to advance political fortunes legitimately. In this war of public rallies, Raila like Uhuru is using diverse tactics to advance his political cause,” Koigi said in his official face book page yesterday.
Koigi said Raila with his public rallies is fighting political guerrilla warfare against Uhuru’s political army saying when Uhuru retreats, Raila advances and when Uhuru advances Raila retreats.
He said Raila harasses and attacks during the rallies at the same time rescuing his leadership profile from decline since he lost presidential elections.
Koigi said the cord leader is using the political rallies to raise the profile of Cord opposition higher than it has in Parliament or the Senate.
“Raila is using rallies to re-establish himself as the ODM party supremo, for the unfinished business of party elections, where he will put who he wants where in the party hierarchy. In this political war, neither Uhuru nor Raila should resort to military means. The means should remain strictly political and peaceful,” he added.
CORD leaders have been holding public rallies across the country calling for national dialogue with President Kenyatta.
Top brass of cord on Saturday during the burial of former Chief of General Staff Jackson Mulinge in Kathiani, Machakos County shared a public platform for the first time with the president since he began the demand one month ago.
Mr Odinga said the president should not reject the calls for dialogue.
“We need to work together and are all in one nation,” he said.
His co-principals, former Vice-President Kalonzo Musyoka,Bungoma Senator Moses Wetang’ula, also supported calls for dialogue.
