Nairobi — An ODM MP Sunday predicted the collapse of the grand coalition Government before the end of its term.

Nambale MP, Chris Okemo, claimed there was a lot of mistrust and bickering among key coalition Government leaders, owing to their deep political differences, thus threatening the survival of the system

"I don't see this Government finishing its term because the key players cannot work together for long owing to their different approaches to various issues affecting this country," said the MP.

He said he had talked to a number of Cabinet ministers from both sides, who indicated that they were currently working together merely for the sake of peace to prevail in the country but would take their different stands later.

Still unresolved

Noting that he had earlier predicted the collapse of the previous Narc government over the same problems, Mr Okemo added that most of the issues which divided the Narc leaders were still unresolved.

He, however, appealed to his constituents to support the grand coalition Government to foster peace, adding that the country could only realise meaningful development under a peaceful atmosphere.
