Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has reiterated that he will not back down on his unity deal with President William Ruto, asserting that it is aimed at improving Kenya for the better.

In a thinly veiled attack on former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, Raila emphasised that he made an independent decision to work with Ruto and rejected calls to collaborate with his opposition colleagues.
