Karua Blasts ‘Betrayer’ Raila, Accuses Him of Selling Out Gen Z Protesters to Ruto
NARC-Kenya leader Martha Karua has criticized former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, accusing him of betrayal after his controversial move to align with President William Ruto’s administration.
In an interview on NTV, Karua claimed Odinga exploited Gen Z protests to further his political interests.
She argued that the former opposition leader should have stood with the youthful demonstrators but chose instead to back the government.
Karua remarked, “As opposition leaders, we have a duty to Kenyans, especially to the Gen Zs who sacrificed for this country.” She added that she felt betrayed by Odinga’s actions.
Karua also confirmed NARC-Kenya’s exit from the Azimio coalition, citing that some opposition members had become spokespeople for Ruto’s government.
She particularly called out Suna East MP Junet Mohamed and Mining Cabinet Secretary Hassan Joho for abandoning their opposition roles.

“We cannot remain in a coalition that no longer serves the people’s interests. To hold the Ruto regime accountable, we must take a clear stance,” Karua stated.
Addressing her fallout with Odinga, Karua urged him to formalize his partnership with Ruto through a post-election coalition agreement.
“I appeal to my friend Raila Odinga to solidify this alliance with Ruto through a proper political agreement, overseen by the registrar of political parties,” she suggested.
On the impeachment of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, Karua disclosed her disapproval of Gachagua’s actions while in office, including his inaction on the raid at former President Uhuru Kenyatta’s farm.
However, she emphasized the importance of fairness, asserting that Gachagua deserved a fair hearing despite her reservations about him.
