MPs Call for Raila to Join Ruto's Government After AUC Chair Loss

Members of Parliament have expressed support for the idea of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga joining President William Ruto's government following his defeat in the African Union Commission (AUC) chairperson race.

Kitui Central MP, Makali Mulu, suggested on Tuesday that Odinga’s experience and leadership would be an asset to the country and should be utilized by the government. He highlighted the National Dialogue Committee (NADCO) report, which recognizes the role of the leader of the opposition, and urged its adoption to give Odinga an official position in the executive.

“Raila should be part of the government now that he is back. The NADCO report should be passed to ensure Kenyans benefit from his years of experience,” Mulu said in an interview with Citizen TV. He also pointed out that if Odinga chooses to work with Ruto, it could pave the way for more people to join the government, though some may have to step aside for others to take their place.

However, Mulu also noted that Odinga could choose to retire and leave behind his political ambitions. He warned that this might alienate younger Kenyans who feel betrayed by Odinga's actions during the political crisis, with many accusing him of abandoning the youth.

"He could step back and advise younger leaders, but this might not resonate with the Gen Zs, who see him as a figure that betrayed them," Mulu said.

Nyeri Town MP Duncan Mathenge also supported the idea of utilizing Odinga's potential, stressing that Ruto’s government should not wait until the 2027 elections to involve the opposition leader in a formal role.

“Kenyans across the political divide recognize Raila’s value to the country. We should not wait until 2027 to give him a role but rather allow him to contribute to the nation now,” Mathenge said.

The conversation was sparked after Belgut MP Nelson Koech suggested that Odinga could be given a prominent position in the government, including his former role as Prime Minister. However, Mathenge dismissed the idea of reviving the Prime Minister's office, stating that it would require constitutional changes to be implemented.

The debate continues, with MPs advocating for Raila Odinga’s inclusion in the government to help move the country forward.

Kenyan President William Ruto held talks on Wednesday with the head of Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Force (RSF), General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, amid new efforts to bring lasting peace to the war-torn country.

“Kenya is not looking for anything other than a peaceful resolution and a stable neighbor.”

The President called on the warring parties in the Sudanese conflict to engage in dialogue and work towards a lasting peace.
