National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula has urged retired President Uhuru Kenyatta to speak out against the Azimio La Umoja One Kenya anti-government protests.
Wetangula noted that “the conspiracy of silence” by the former President was detrimental and that he should do the honorable thing and publicly advocate for peace. “You should be the number one elder statesman in Kenya who can call the country to order when things are going wrong,” he said.
The former Head of State who is the Chairperson of the Azimio Council has in recent months been under fire from a section of Kenya Kwanza leaders who accuse him of sponsoring the Azimio protests.
Speaker Wetangula challenged Kenya’s fifth President to make his position known and cement his legacy as a peace ambassador. “History will judge you harshly if you fail to act and that is not good for you my brother,” he said.
The former President’s alleged involvement with the Azimio rallies prompted some goons to invade his family’s land situated along the Eastern bypass on March 27, 2023.
President Kenyatta continues to keep a low profile despite acknowledging that Odinga is still his party leader.
