Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>DAP-K leader Eugene Wamalwa has accused the Kenya Kwanza administration of crippling the Opposition by ‘buying Azimio MPs.<\/p>\n

Wamalwa said Azimio had more MPS and more governors compared to the ruling coalition following the August General Elections last year.<\/p>\n

He said the Kenya Kwanza regime has taken to buying MPs for numerical advantage in Parliament to ensure they suppress the Opposition.<\/p>\n

“We are happy to have leaders like Dick Maungu and Godfrey Osotsi who stand on their own,” Wamalwa said.<\/p>\n

The former Cabinet secretary was speaking on Saturday at Esiandumba grounds during the homecoming party of Luanda MP Dick Maungu.<\/p>\n

Wamalwa likened the buying of opposition MPs to putting the Kenyan democracy at risk.<\/p>\n

He said once the legislators who have crossed camp are sabotaging democracy.<\/p>\n

“It’s better to have few people but who can defend Kenyans’ democracy and that’s what we are for,” he said.<\/p>\n

“We are left with only 11 days and the directive you will give us Baba Raila, that’s what we shall go with,” Wamalwa added.<\/p>\n

Raila on Wednesday gave the Kenya Kwanza administration a 14-day ultimatum to lower the cost of living or face mass action.<\/p>\n

Wamalwa said they are having citizen barazas because the nation is at risk.<\/p>\n

He accused DP Rigathi Gachagua for taking Kenya as a private company.<\/p>\n
