Karua Breaks Silence On Uhuru-Ruto Meeting With Possible Alliance
Matha Karua, the leader of Narc Kenya, has talked for the first time about her relationship with former President Uhuru Kenyatta following his recent meeting with President William Ruto.
Karua told Citizen TV that Uhuru is her brother, just like former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, but she disagrees with the political route they have followed.
“He (Uhuru Kenyatta) remains my brother and friend just like I say Raila remains my brother and friend, but that political direction, I beg to differ,” she said.
However, the former Justice Minister stated that everyone should be free to make their own decisions.
“You must allow everybody to act according to how they see best.”

Karua cautioned Uhuru and Raila that if they think working with President William Ruto will change him, they are mistaken.
She argued that if this was their goal, they had misunderstood the President.
“I’m saying if they are informed by a genuine desire imagining that because of joining him Ruto will be any different, I am telling them they are totally mistaken and they have misread the man,” Karua insisted.
Her words come just a few weeks after President Ruto and his predecessor, Uhuru, visited his Ichaweri house in Gatundu.
Days following the meeting, Ruto appointed several people close to the previous President to prominent posts in his administration, including at least three Cabinet members.

Karua stated in August that she will remain in the opposition regardless of whether Raila is present.
“Whether or not our brother Raila goes to AU, and we wish him well, the position doesn’t change. He remains here we still remain a voice, he goes we still play our role,” Karua said.
“Our being in the opposition is not predicated in the presence or absence of our brother, it is a duty we take up seriously.”
