Expert Alleges How Raila-Ruto Alliance Was a Blessing to Gen Zs, Ruto Told How it Exposed Them Badly

There have been divided opinion over the working relationship between Raila Odinga and President William Ruto, through a broad based government.

Those who have supported this working arrangements, have noted that UDA and ODM shares ideologies and their coming together has worked perfectly for the interest of the country.

"ODM is one of Kenya’s oldest political parties, a social democratic party that champions social equality, democracy, justice and human rights. UDA shares similar values, so the 'genetic coding' of the two parties is the same and their aspirations align." -Wilson Sossion, Former SG, KNUT.

However, political analyst and governance expert Professor Fred Ogola have argued that the union between the duo, has worked against them.

Speaking on Sunday, Prof Ogola emphasized that coming together of William Ruto and Raila Odinga truly helped Kenyans, who now have seen the truth.

"If there’s anything that truly helped Kenyans see the truth, it’s the coming together of William Ruto and Raila Odinga because it revealed who they really are to the people." - Prof. Fred Ogola, Governance Expert.

In addition, Prof Ogola urged the president needs to work on trust issue by allowing room for criticism.

Despite being unwilling to accept dissent from Kenyans, Prof Ogola says that a mere change in tone will not be enough to help him.

"President Ruto needs to regain the trust of Kenyans. He should allow room for dissent and constructive criticism-friendly fire. Unfortunately, he appears unwilling to tolerate opposition. A mere change in tone will not be enough to help him."- Prof. Fred Ogola, Governance Expert
