Nairobi — Energy minister, Mr Kiraitu Murungi, says he is ready to work with ODM leader, Mr Raila Odinga and members of his party in the Government.
The minister said he knew Raila since their days of political activism in the 1990s, describing the Lang'ata MP as a good man.
"I have known Raila for a long time. We share an eventful long history since when we struggled to liberate the country from the dictatorial single party rule in the 1990s. I even represented him in court," said Kiraitu.
He hailed the power-sharing deal between President Kibaki and Raila, saying it augured well for the restoration of peace and national unity, after the unprecedented post-election violence.
