Mudavadi in fresh calls for dialogue

National Dialogue is needed and it will be difficult for the Jubilee Government to dodge it, Amani Coalition leader Musalia Mudavadi has said.

Mudavadi, who spoke at the burial of Mama Selina Jirongo, mother of former Lugari MP Cyrus Jirongo, said there is a lot of disparity in the country and national dialogue would help heal many wounds.

“If you look at the appointments to high profile jobs in the country, Central Kenya leads, followed closely by Rift Valley, then the other regions come in at a far distance. This is what is causing unrest in the country. We don’t want only two tribes to rule Kenya,” Mudavadi said.

MEANS TO TALK

Mudavadi singled out the appointment of principal secretaries, saying if they are 20 in total, the Government should make sure that every Kenyan is represented.

Mudavadi said leaders have the means of talking to each other appropriately without creating unnecessary tension and blaming each other even for things that are nonexistent.

“We can solve the problems facing the country now without necessarily creating chaos. And that is why the national dialogue should be held but through the appropriate means,” he said, adding that CORD’s calls for a referendum are ill-timed and a waste of resources.
