Raila Odinga Slams President William Ruto on formation of Shakahola commission
Raila Odinga also has expressed his disappointment on how the President is misusing his powers. According to Odinga, the 2010 constitution does not accord the President any right to form an investigative commission. This has mushroomed after the President of the Republic of Kenya Dr. William Samoei Ruto formed a Shakahola Commission that will look into the mass killing witnessed in Kilifi County.
Raila went ahead and said investigations into the massacre cannot be done by a government whose officers are believed to be accomplices in the mass killings
“Opposition chief Raila Odinga has said he will move to court to challenge the formation of a commission of inquiry into the Shakohola deaths.” The Star Newspaper reports.
“Tangu 2010 Katiba mpya, Rais hana uwezo wa kuunda jopokazi la kufanya uchunguzi. Hio imewekwa chini ya Bunge (Since the 2010 Constitution, the President has no powers to form an inquiry. That is the duty of the Parliament),” he said.
According to the Azimio leader, President Ruto wants to kill the scandal. “He wants to bury this scandal. That is why he has appointed that inquiry commission and named his friends so that they can file the report that he wants.” Raila states.
