Macharia Gaitho Roats Raila, Kalonzo and Wetangula Badly

Renowned Daily Nation columnist, Macharia Gaitho, has viciously attacked CORD principals terming them as three musketeers who have failed Kenyans.

In an article he wrote on the Daily Nation on Tuesday, Gaitho who is the chairman of Kenya Editors Guild, said former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, former Vice President, Kalonzo Musyoka and Bungoma Senator, Moses Wetangula, have failed Kenyans by having a weak opposition that is not checking the Jubilee Government.

“You are supposed to be the Government-in-waiting, providing alternative vision, policies, and programmes. Last year you did seem to promise something, but the Okoa Kenya initiative seems to have fizzled out even as evidence mounts of the need for a strong, united opposition to keep the Government in check,” Gaitho wrote.

He said the three CORD leaders have failed terribly and instead they have resulted to using unorthodox means to attain power.

“It is the opposition that can best counter the growing drift towards Kanu-style intolerance. You will do this best by projecting yourselves as a responsible alternative government, not by introducing thuggery into the National Assembly and demonstrating that you are incapable of even managing democratic elections in your own parties,” Gaitho concluded.
