The Orange Democratic Movement has
demanded the withdrawal of Kenya
Defence Forces from Somalia to tackle
terror attacks back home.
Acting party leader Anyang’ Nyong’o
said the Jubilee Government should
present to Kenyans a roadmap for
withdrawal of Kenyan troops from
Somalia.
In a press statement, Prof Nyong’o said
Kenya had done its bit in Somalia and
had suffered enough for it.
He said Kenyans needed to be given a
game plan for the troops’ exit and the
roadmap for a secure Kenya and a
stable Somalia.
“We seem to be staying in Somalia
without realising the full costs and we
are now paying for it,” he said.
“Families have lost bread winners and
loved ones and KDF is not coming to
their aid.”
Amid the insecurity, the Jubilee
government remained tight-lipped as
the crisis gets from bad to worse,
according to the Opposition official. The
Somalia intervention, Operation Linda
Nchi, was no longer tenable, he said.
“How can we justifiably talk of Linda
Nchi when we are under attack day in
day out because of our very presence in
Somalia?”
