President William Ruto

During the event, the National Assembly Minority Leader expressed satisfaction with President Ruto's move to form a broad-based government.

However, he claimed that the ODM party was still the minority party and reiterated that it had not formed a coalition with the ruling UDA party.

"Some people are saying that there is no minority in parliament. We are the minority in parliament. We will do our work comprehensively and make sure the government works in line with the constitution.

"We will do representation oversight and legislation. And that's the the democracy of Kenya. If some of our members have joined the government, us who remained must do our work. We don't have a coalition with UDA," Junet expalined.
