Kenya’s opposition leader Raila Odinga has been criticised for urging the youth to dialogue with the government.
The former Prime Minister was speaking at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC), where he and other opposition politicians witnessed the assent of the IEBC Bill 2024 into law.
Odinga said the opposition agreed to dialogue with President William Ruto’s government.
This follows weeks of Gen Z-driven protests across the country and has led to the death of over 20 protesters and hundreds of others injured.
“The best way forward out of the crisis we are having today as a country,” Raila said.
His statement at KICC led to outrage with many accusing him of becoming a sellout.
