Raila, Uhuru told to
lower prices of products of their companies before calling for protests
The Ruling Party of the UNITED Democratic Alliance {UDA} now
want both Former President Uhuru Kenyatta and azimio La Umoja One Kenya
Alliance leaders Raila Odinga to first reduce the prices of the commodities
their companies produce before telling Kenyans to go to street protest due to
high cost of living.
Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei says Uhuru should be ready to
reduce the price of milk produced by Brookside, a company associated with the
Kenyatta Family while Raila should do the same on the price of the gas produced
by Spectre Company associated with the Odinga Family before they tell Kenyans
to protest over the high cost of living.
Addressing residents of Kisumu during the launch of UDA
Recruitment drive in Kisumu County today, Senator Cherargei by doing this, the
duo will lead by example in lowering the cost of living for Kenyans.
The Nandi Senator says without this, Odinga should never
call on Kenyans to protest the high cost of living.
“It is not realistic at all for Odinga to call for street
protest over the high cost of living yet he has not helped Kenyans by reducing
the price of the gas his company is producing. The same lies with former
President Kenyatta whose company associated with his family is producing milk.
Let him also reduce the price of Milk for Kenyans too,” Cherargei says
Cherargei says the Government should investigate the
immediate former Kenya Revenue Authority {KRA} Commissioner General over his
alleged involvement of illegal tax exemption that has made the country to loose
huge sums of money unremitted as tax.
On his part, UDA Secretary General Cleopas Malala says there
is no need for the call for street protest by some azimio la Umoja leaders on
the high cost of leaving.
Malala claims that the main reason as to why Odinga is
calling for the street protest is to seek sympathy and get the Kenya Kwanza
Government’s ear and engage him in another Handshake.
“The only handshake that the President of Kenya will have is
that with the electorates at the grass root level that include Nyanza and other
regions but not with any other politician who is opposing the Government,” Malala
says.
He says they will not allow another form of handshake
between the President and Odinga.
He says Odinga should consider retiring from active politics
then get retirement benefits from the Government.
He says the President means well for all parts of Kenya
including Nyanza region where he has earmarked various development projects
that will be carried out during his reign as the Head of State and Government.
