ODM Leader Raila Odinga has asserted that Martha Karua had no choice except to support him, given the options she had.
Talking at Serena Hotel, where he formally received Karua into Azimio, Raila expressed that the NARC Kenya Party pioneer had limited choices on her favored presidential candidate in the impending general elections.
As per the ODM pioneer, Karua could not have picked DP William Ruto as he is anti reformist.
“I don’t think she had any other choice, because the difference between this side and the other side (DP Ruto) is like day and night, black or white,” Raila said.
The ODM pioneer recounted the job of Martha Karua in the second liberation of the country, saying she was a general in the battle.
“Martha Karua has paid a heavy price in the struggle for the second liberation of this country; she stood firm when very few dared,” Raila added.
Talking ealier on, Karua expressed that her move was impacted by Raila’s magnanimity and history of placing the interest of the country over some other things.
“All sides have people who do not believe in the rule of law, and all sides have good people. I have been looking keenly and I have been able without much struggle to identify a critical mass of good people within the Azimio coalition.
“And that is all that is needed for the liberation of this country,” Karua said.
