Kenya Diaspora Group Backs Kenyatta-Raila Unity Pact
The Kenya Diaspora Alliance (KDA) has hailed President Kenyatta and Opposition leader Raila Odinga over last Friday unity pact.
In a statement issued by KDA chairperson Shem Ochuodho on Saturday, the group said the move will reunite Kenyans, heal wounds, and take the country back to the path of cohesion.
"Simply put, 'The Kenya We Want' must meet two minimum thresholds to be meaningful and successful: inclusivity and home-grown," part of the statement read.
"This is a lifetime opportunity to lift Kenya out of poverty and joblessness, and in the spirit of the UN sustainable development goals (SDGs), no-one should be left behind. All shades and faces of Kenya must participate in and own this process," Ochuodho said.
"We recognise that Kenya isn’t an island and is part of the community of nations. We therefore expect friends of Kenya to stand with us in this historic journey to the end."
Ochuodho said the group will reach out to Kenyans living abroad and rally them behind the unity process initiated by the two. The Uhuru-Raila unity agreement has earned praise both locally and internationally and has been described as state-manly.

I am hoping all this unity stuff is not nusu mkate government formation process.
It's from UhuRu to UhuRa; And no Ruto_ in 2022.
Ochuodho might be in the "EATING" group but ordinary Kenyans will get nothing but taxation+++ for looting.Wataimba ata poop ya watoto huko Pumwani.Who benefited from Kibaki/Raila nusu-mukate looting govt expect for a group of maybe less than 500 Kenyans?Just speak the truth.Or didn't Raila choose his sister and two inlaws as senior diplomats in US leaving even his tribesmen/worshipers,kina iPhone 4G,Mbingu,HAKIKA,Imara etc watching?
Not so fast Luo Diaspora group; and I say “Luo Diaspora group” with a straight face. All along, you have supported the NRM and you have been against the Government of Kenya. Now that your God RAO has abandoned you and reached Canaan ( and without you) alone, you want to change tune and support the Government. Mind you it is the same government of two weeks ago.
