His remarks come at a time when President William Ruto’s UDA has entered a working arrangement with the ODM party as part of forming a broad-based government.
The UDA–ODM pact was crafted to stabilise the economy, address social challenges, and rebuild national unity after months of public unrest and economic tension.
According to the agreement, both Ruto and the late ODM leader Raila Odinga committed to restoring calm and strengthening democracy through inclusive governance.
Amisi, however, believes such alliances have historically been driven by deceit, tribal bargaining, and personal interests rather than shared ideological convictions.
He argued that, for 65 years, political elites have repeatedly formed and broken coalitions depending on convenience, leaving ordinary citizens with no tangible benefits.
The legislator lamented that the same individuals and political families have dominated these shifting formations, offering little hope for structural change.
He insisted that Kenya’s economic challenges cannot be solved through recycled political marriages that prioritize survival over policy.
Amisi cited past coalitions such as Azimio, Kenya Kwanza, NASA, NARC, CORD, TNA/URP, and One Kenya Alliance, claiming none delivered meaningful economic transformation.
He urged leaders to break this cycle in their lifetime, saying future generations deserve a reformed political culture anchored in integrity and genuine development.
Meanwhile, UDA maintains it will honour Raila Odinga’s legacy by implementing the ten-point agenda he and President Ruto endorsed before Odinga’s passing in October 2025.
The agenda focuses on youth empowerment, good governance, economic stability, and safeguarding civil liberties as outlined in the National Dialogue Committee report.
