ODM MP tells CORD to give Uhuru 'peace'

Sirisia MP John Waluke of ODM has asked CORD leaders to respect President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy William Ruto and give them a chance to govern.

In what may be seen as breaking ranks with leaders of his coalition, Waluke appealed to CORD Principals Raila Odinga, Kalonzo Musyoka and Moses Wetang'ula and other elected leaders to give the Jubilee leadership 'peace of mind', so that development is actualised in zones that did not vote for the ruling coalition.

The MP said leaders should engage with the Government constructively irrespective of their political affiliation. Speaking during a fundraiser in his constituency over the weekend, Waluke said though he was elected on an ODM ticket, he recognises that Uhuru and Ruto have a five-year mandate.
