Opposition leader Raila Odinga yesterday led his troops in secession talks that they said would be their last card to protest alleged punitive governance policies being pursued by President William Ruto’s Kenya Kwanza government.
Azimio leaders, who converged for prayers at Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka’s Yatta farm in Machakos County, declared they will on Tuesday next week launch a collection of signatures from Kenyans dissatisfied with Dr Ruto’s leadership style to petition the United Nations into splitting the country into two republics. Mr Odinga set the ball rolling when he declared that the Kenya Kwanza administration had failed to deal with the issues they had raised, and it was time to pursue self-determination.
