Attempting to read the Kenyan political tea leaves currently from the Azimio presser that followed a 3 hour summit organ of the coalition meeting on 5th March 2023, may be one unsolvable jigsaw puzzle. The Azimio statement blew cold and but also blew very hot at one point. And all this happening when the mainstream media and many analysts have been saying what Azimio supporters do not want to hear; that there has been a deal of sorts between Raila and Ruto.
Actually there is no deal... but it is complicated in the following way....
The news conference that took place in Azimio on March 5, 2023, following a summit meeting (the Summit in Azimio is the highest decision-making body within the Coalition) continues to leave the majority of Kenyans in a state of confusion.
Would it be possible for Ruto and Raila to reach a compromise of any kind?
Martha Karua, who, according to Kalonzo Musyoka, apologized on her on her way to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, the previous evening, was the only important actor from Azimio who was not present. All of the other major players were present.
In the beginning, supporters of Azimio were really charged when it was revealed that this press briefing would take place. The question is, why were they so excited? The reason for this was that they were keeping their fingers crossed that Azimio would eventually shed light on the way things really stood in Kenya. mainly due to the fact that there is an increasing body of evidence that contradicts the assertions that Kumekucha Chris has made, despite the fact that many people want to accept Kumekucha.
For example, Aisha Jumwa, who serves as a cabinet secretary in the administration of Deputy President William Ruto, recently paid a visit to Raila's office as a courtesy. Despite the fact that this is not legally a handshake, political watchers believe that it is evidence of a predetermined agreement.
This news conference was held with the intention of removing any ambiguity that may have existed. Regrettably, in the end, they were disappointed with the outcome.
Over the course of the unusual news briefing, Azimio even lauded a number of the moves that the Ruto government had adopted. The majority of Azimio's remarks, on the other hand, were strongly critical of the administration; in fact, the government was threatened. Raila sent a message to Ruto and his administration, in which he indicated that they were aware of the fact that certain individuals, both inside and outside of Parliament, were attempting to sabotage or disrupt the NADCO report, which was about to be completed and addressed. The NADCO document is, in point of fact, already incorporated into the timetable of the Parliamentary session.
Ruto's brigade was informed by the Azimio summit delegation that the NADCO report had been negotiated by both sides, and that peace had been delivered to Kenya as a result of the talks that took place. The government should not take the NADCO report for granted, and any attempt to interfere with or even kill it will meet extremely significant repercussions from Azimio. As a result, the government should not take the report for granted.
Without a shadow of a doubt, as a serious warning, that was delivered to Ruto and his colleagues.
Is there anything that Kenyans stand to benefit from all of this drama that is taking place during the press briefing? The situation is actually even more confusing than it was before. Even if I say so myself, I have to admit that this circumstance is challenging.
Nevertheless, this is the genuine article, as I have repeatedly said on my channel at various points in time. To add insult to injury, neither Raila's boys nor Ruto's side have shown any willingness to cooperate or shake hands. Nothing even remotely similar to it exists.
