Nyaribari Chache MP Zaheer Jhanda has dared the Raila-led team to consider quitting the broad-based government following their criticism of President Ruto’s recent remarks.
The MP elected on a UDA party ticket challenged his counterparts from ODM to revert to the opposition.
The lawmaker asked the Raila loyalists to quit and the Cabinet Secretaries nominated from the ODM faction to resign and resume full opposition roles.

“ODM should not threaten or lecture us on how to run the Government or human rights issues. They have never won any elections. If they’re uncomfortable in the broad-based government, then they should move out fast. We won the elections without you. Ask your ministers to resign, and then we shall take you serious. Otherwise keep quiet and respect President William Ruto,” Jhanda fired.
The Head of State and the former Prime Minister entered a working pact in March this year.
Their pact stipulated critical issues the partnership would be based on, including ending abductions and extrajudicial killing, compensation of victims of police brutality, lowering the cost of living and strengthening devolution.
