Eldas MP Adan Keynan has bashed Opposition leader Raila Odinga over his anti-government rallies.
The legislator said the rallies are destruction for Kenyans who are already struggling with the current affairs of the world.
"As a country, we are facing challenges from natural calamities such a drought but people want to go through stones and abuse in rallies. Rallies will not solve the problems Kenya is facing," Keynan said.
He was speaking in Nakuru on Sunday during a thanksgiving service attended by the Kenya Kwanza members led by President William Ruto.
Keynan however, called on the President to send help to North Eastern counties that are facing hunger due to the ongoing drought.
"Our president, although it is a natural calamity, kindly send help to northeastern region on the drought situation," he said.
ODM Party leader Raila Odinga vowed to press on with his anti-government rallies even as pressure mounted on him to call them off.
Azimio coalition has vowed that it is still intact and rubbished claims of division.
The coalition also said it was even ready to go to the ballot.
On Saturday Raila was in Kisumu county after attending late Education CS George Magoha's burial in Siaya.
This time he was accompanied by retired President Uhuru Kenyatta who affirmed his support to Raila.
The ODM leader has been persistent in his anti-government rallies despite criticism from some leaders to stop on grounds that he is dividing the country.
"We must continue to have these barazas to sensitise our people of their democratic right which has been stolen. These people know that they stole elections and they want to rule you as if they won elections," Raila said during an Azimio coalition retreat on Thursday.
After the Busia rally on Sunday, Raila is set to hold another rally in Kisii town on Monday.
