“We will hold this government responsible in case our sons die in Haiti under the illegal deployment.” – Azimio to Ruto
Azimio leaders, led by Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka, have accused President William Ruto of undermining the independence of the Judiciary and Parliament.
They called on Kenyans to resist attempts to erode democratic gains, stating that the Kenya Kwanza Government has not fulfilled its promises to the people.
During an address at Makenji ACK Parish in Embu county on Sunday, the leaders accused President Ruto of disregarding court orders and meddling with legislative processes in Parliament.
“We will hold this government responsible in case our sons die in Haiti under the illegal deployment. We still oppose the move that was declared illegal by our courts,” Kalonzo said noting that 80 per cent of Haiti is controlled by gangs.
The Wiper leader accused the government of disregarding court orders related to the housing levy.
“The government has failed to adhere to the Constitution that they were sworn in, to protect,” he said.
Kalonzo emphasized that the high cost of living is impacting everyone, irrespective of their political affiliation.
The government has ignored the roles and powers of Parliament and Judiciary which will lead to total dictatorship,” he said.
DAP-K leader Eugene Wamalwa urged Attorney General Justin Muturi to honestly inform the government about Haiti, similar to how he did with the housing tax.
“The AG Muturi is a ‘son’ of Embu who has advised the government on what should be the legal and constitutional course of action but they continue to ignore his advice,” he said.
Wamalwa criticized the government’s decision to send police to Haiti instead of addressing insecurity in Baringo and Isiolo counties, where teachers and an MCA were killed.
He highlighted the disparity in police-to-citizen ratio, stating that the United Nations recommends one police officer for every 450 people, whereas in Kenya, one officer serves 1150 people.
Wamalwa affirmed that Azimio will advocate for the government to reduce the high cost of living and taxation.
