NARC- Kenya Party Leader Martha Karua on Tuesday dismissed the recent calls for national dialogue fronted to cool the current political temperatures labelling the proposition as a trap.
Karua who took to her official social media platforms sustained her onslaught claiming that the government wants to divert the public's attention and deflate the recent resistance momentum built by Kenyans.
"Dialogue can only be meaningful if the players have good faith and are guided by the best interests of the people. This is a trap period."
The NARC-Kenya leader averred that the genuine call to keep the government in check had been hijacked by individuals she described as "a handful of elites."
Rallying her support to Gen Z who had stormed the streets to protest against proposed taxes, Karua urged her fellow politicians to be keen on whatever decisions they make. She insisted that such decisions should have the interests of Kenyans at heart.
"Let’s be careful as the political class lest we hijack the genuine clamor for accountability and reforms by the GenZ."
"I agree with those who say Action Now on the clear and attainable demands of the GenZ to enhance accountability and make the state work for the masses rather than for a handful of elites," she added.
This is however contrary to Azimio Leader Raila Odinga's call for dialogue.
On Tuesday, Raila reminded Kenyans the problems Kenyans face informed the setting up of the National Dialogue Committee (NADCO).
"We agreed when we said together with my brother William Ruto that we will follow the route of dialogue, that is why NADCO was set up," Raila stated on Tuesday.
Appreciating that Kenyans were irked over corruption and wastage in government, Raila called on the national government, state officers, and leaders to have an all-inclusive robust engagement and discussion to listen to the plight of Kenyans who are experiencing tough economic times.
Raila's call for a constructive dialogue was echoed by his co-principal Kalonzo Musyoka.
Kalonzo spoke at the same function where President William Ruto assented to the Independence Electoral and Boundaries Commission Bill seeking to ensure the electoral body is fully constituted as advocated by Kenyans across the board.
