Aden Duale tells CORD to stop blame game and offer solutions

Kenya: As the alternative government, the opposition should offer solutions, National Assembly Majority Leader Aden Duale has said.

He said CORD leaders who have been holding a series of rallies, where they have criticised the Jubilee Government, should stop the blame game and instead offer solutions to the problems facing the country.

Duale told the opposition leaders to concentrate on development issues that will benefit wananchi and save politics for 2017.

“Cord leaders should be accountable for what they say as they have formed platforms to propagate hate speech messages against the government of the day, which is in no way in the interest of Kenyans,” said Duale.

On regime change, Duale said: “Cord leaders should allow the Jubilee Government to serve its term, and resell their policies ahead of  the next general elections.”

He urged Alfred Keter to table any grievances he had in Parliament where answers would be provided.

“Keter is just being used by a section of those against the Government. He needs to understand that the Jubilee coalition represents the interests of both parties and those of the Kenyan citizens,” he said.

The legislator said Devolution and Planning Cabinet Secretary Anne Waiguru’s impending impeachment was not a collective decision of the Jubilee alliance but an opinion of Igembe South MP Mithika Linturi.

Duale said talks were underway to ensure Mithika Linturi reconsiders his stand over the Motion he had tabled in Parliament on impeaching Waiguru.

Some 116 MPs have signed a petition to oust Waiguru, who is accused of gross misconduct and gross violation of the constitution.

She is also accused of intimidating and threatening public servants under her jurisdiction.
