Arati said that ODM remains an opposition outfit even though they will support the Kenya Kwanza government.
Junet Mohamed said it is time to forget about the past and forgive one another.
“During the campaign, we said so many things. We called one another names. It was politics. But in the spirit of broad-based government, I plead that we should forgive each other and focus on a united Kenya.
“We shall play our role as the minority in parliament effectively. We are not going anywhere. We shall provide checks and balances to the government,” the Suna East Member of Parliament said.
Orengo, on his part, said that it is time to work together for the sake of the country’s unity.
“Let’s work together for the sake of the stability of our nation, but we should not forget the provisions of the constitution that provide for majority and minority in parliament. Democracy must be respected,” the Siaya County chief said.
Otuoma and Migori County Governor Ochilo Ayacko equally called for unity.
“We have to embrace unity. Kenya is big, and we all have to be united to make it bigger and greater. Inclusivity is paramount. We thank you, Mr. President, for this gesture,” Otuoma said.
“As a party, we are delighted to have some of our members working in government. We shall support you, Mr. President, where necessary in the interest of our nation,” Ayacko stated.
