‘Things will not change,’ Raila says as he accuses President Ruto of micromanagement

Opposition leader Raila Odinga has come out guns blazing to accuse President William Ruto of micromanaging government affairs.

According to the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya coalition party leader, President Ruto is singlehandedly attempting to handle too many crucial State functions at the same time, hence is likely to fail.

The former premier went ahead to state that the opposition is, in the meantime, unwilling to sit at the table with and offer advice to the Kenya Kwanza administration due to what he intimated to be cluelessness masquerading as know-it-all.

“You cannot be one person, you’re Mr. President, you’re the Permanent Secretary in all ministries, you’re the Minister, you know everything…even if El Nino is coming, you’re the one who knows…the work which should be done by the Director of Meteorology, is being done by you as a President,” said Mr. Odinga.

“You’re talking about everything…even if somebody’s wife did not dress properly, you’re the one who knows…this is where we have a problem, and these people don’t know that they don’t know, and we’re not ready to advise them because they know everything.”

The Azimio chief further stated that the current state of the economy and the high cost of living is unlikely to change anytime soon if the Ruto government does not change tact.

He also accused the President of making government appointments in a random manner without putting consideration on the offices or the roles he bestows upon various characters.

“Right now, first the civil service is demoralized; they’re paying people from outside the civil service, being made Permanent Secretaries. Somebody who has never even been to Kabete to be trained in administration, does not know how civil service is working,” he said.

“Things are not going to get better because these people are messing up, they don’t know how to run a competitive economy. Things will not change.”
