Kileleshwa Ward representative Robert Alai has stated that he will not attend the devolution conference scheduled for next week unless Raila is invited.
According to Alai, the conference will be incomplete without Opposition leader Raila Odinga.
He insisted that Raila is the “father of devolution” and that he will only attend if Raila is invited.
Alai stated that Raila should be allowed to express his thoughts on devolution since its implementation. This will be the eighth conference since the devolved units took effect in 2013.
“Baba Raila Odinga is the father of Devolution. You might not support him but there is no proper Devolution Conference without Baba Raila Odinga. Omiyo, I am not attending DevolutionConference 2023 unless we are honest and invite Raila to also share with us his thoughts on devolution 13 years later,” Alai said.
The conference will be held at the Eldoret Sports Club, between August 15 and 19.
