Citizen TV's Yvonne Okwara has condemned former Prime Minister Raila Odinga for what she termed as dishonesty.
While presenting her take on the News Gang segment of Thursday's bulletin, Yvonne made reference to Raila's trip to China; accompanying President Uhuru Kenyatta who is seeking a Ksh368 billion loan for the extension of the SRG from Naivasha to Kisumu.
She reminded Kenyans of how Odinga himself had blasted the government over the country's ballooning debt.
"As we speak, the president and former premier Raila Odinga are in China seeking more funding for the SGR, yet in 2016, Raila was extremely critical of the country's debt situation. He had a list of five demands for the president regarding the debt situation.
"He accused the government of over-borrowing, overspending and over-stealing. He further told the president to wake up and smell the coffee that the country was on a downward trend," Yvonne pointed out the irony.
She stated that as a leader, Odinga ought to be judged by his words.
The hard-hitting news presenter also spoke about dishonesty within the ruling party, where a faction which claimed that Jubilee was intact was also accusing Odinga of splitting the party.
The other faction had taken upon itself to state that the presidency was united yet Uhuru and Ruto appeared not to be in sync in supporting the handshake as well as the war on corruption.
Former Kakamega Senator, Boni Khalwale who is a close ally of Ruto, had stated during an interview with Citizen that there was a breakdown of the government's communication and policies.
When asked by Waihga Mwaura whether he had taken the matter to the DP with whom he spends a considerable amount of time with, Khalwale responded that they only discuss 2022 succession politics.
Yvonne comically praised Khalwale for his honesty before urging Kenyans to demand accountability from both the government and the opposition.
