Opposition leaders Kalonzo Musyoka and Eugene Wamalwa have slammed the cooperation agreement between their former ally, Raila Odinga’s ODM, and President William Ruto’s UDA, calling it a betrayal of the Kenyan people—especially those who lost their lives protesting the Finance Bills of 2023 and 2024.
