The post reported that President William Ruto and Raila Odinga They are increasingly disagreed despite their agreement to share the powers intended to reduce political tensions.
Three months after signing a 10 -point deal on March 7, 2025, their union shows cracks.
Raila has been talking about unfulfilled promises, especially about the division, justice and civil rights, pushing him to seek public support.
In public, the two leaders are still exchanging pleasure, and hostility in opposition areas has cooled.
But behind the scenes, Raila is continuing the fighting, demanding that they be compensated to victims of police violence and demanding more money to the county, which he says are reduced by the national government.
The main point of conflict is the road handling fund. Raila wants a complete resolution, accusing the government of clinging to the county’s corrupt central government system.
He also wants organizations such as the Kenyan urban road authorities, saying they mimic well -managed responsibilities and units.
Raila has clearly criticized plans for Ruto Of home construction and cheap market, emphasizing those are county jobs.
The revival of the regional administration is another amazing thing. Raila sees it as a move to return to authoritarian regime, with the officials restoring the dismissed police authority in 2018.
ODM general secretary Edwin Sifuna has warned that the failure to respect the agreement will lead the party to eliminate support.
Others within the party believe that Kenya first intentionally disrupts the main agenda of depriving ODM’s political loans.
As the tension is on fire, Raila seems to be determined to oppose the President more clearly, even at formal occasions such as Power Day.
