Electing UHURU/RUTO is a BAD IDEA ….. Economic sanctions are real - MUDAVADI tells Kenyans

  Deputy Prime Minister Musalia Mudavadi has said economic sanctions are real and may be imposed if Kenya elects International Criminal Court (ICC) indictees on March 4^th.

While launching his manifesto at KICC on Sunday, Mudavadi who is Amani coalition Presidential flag bearer said strained relations between Kenya and its close friends in the West may make the country loose all the gains it has achieved since independence.

The DPM said Uhuru Kenyatta and Eldoret North MP William Ruto, who are facing charges at the International Criminal Court, should drop their ambitions and clear their names for the sake of Kenyan’s prosperity.

“We are not an island. We live in a village called the world. When the recession coughs in Europe, we suffer the pangs of prolonged economic stagnation,” Mudavadi said.

“An economy that has collapsed does not create conditions for peace. We must avoid temptation to wish away our development partners,”Mudavadi added.

Mudavadi, who was accompanied by his running mate Jeremiah Kioni assured all Kenyans that he will form an inclusive government that includes some of his opponents in the March 4^th election should he win.

“I will stretch my arm to all of my rivals so that we can work together for a better country. My rivals should not be scared of my win,” he said.
