Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has rejected Deputy President William Ruto’s plea to join his camp ahead of the August 9th elections.
Ruto, while campaigning in Kitui this week, beseeched Musyoka to join the Kenya Kwanza alliance so that they can form the next government together.
But in a rejoinder, Musyoka told Ruto that he is happy in the Azimio La Umoja-One Kenya coalition, adding that he does not regret his decision to back ODM leader Raila Odinga’s fifth presidential bid.
“Nilisema kwa sababu ya Kenya hii, nitamuunga mkono Raila kwa mara ya tatu, kwa sababu Kenya hii ina maana kuliko mtu binafsi,” said Musyoka.
Musyoka, a former vice president, was speaking on Saturday in Gatanga, Murang’a County, where he drummed up support for the Azimio-One Kenya coalition and its presidential flagbearer. He termed himself and President Kenyatta as guarantors of an all-inclusive Odinga presidency.
“Lakini watu wa Mt. Kenya, I am here to tell you, kwa unyenyekevu, rudisheni roho zenu chini ili tuokoe Kenya…sio Uhuru mnaokoa, mnaokoa Kenya…msiangazie watu binafsi, ndiyo nikasema nitamsaidia ndugu yangu Uhuru, liwe liwalo, come rain or shine, to give this country a proper legacy,” Kalonzo added.
He similarly criticized Ruto and his allies for disrespecting President Kenyatta, whom he described as a democrat and statesman.
“There is no president in the world like Uhuru Kenyatta who persevers criticism, hate and abuses from his junior. Uhuru, a man who has been unclothed naked by his deputy must be a statesman,” he said.
Kalonzo – wa ha siasa ya…
Kalonzo – wa ha siasa ya mambo ya katikati. You are mature enough to know Ruto is or good for kenya. That fact should be enough to help you stop flip flopping. Kenya is in serious times where Ruto will destroy the whole country if elected president. Stop playing funny games kalonzo.
Kalonzo is not good for…
Kalonzo is not good for kenya. He is just like Ruto but with a soft landing belly. He is too greedy to be trusted. He is a very selfish man who thinks about himself alone. Kalonzo has no value for Kenya. It’s all about what is in it for him. Money is the ultimate goal in his mind. He will sell kenya for one shilling. This guy will end up joining Ruto before it’s all said and done.
Kalonzo is not a true…
Kalonzo is not a true nationalist. His petty politics of selfishness is beyond pale. I still have wondered the thought process of his Seikuri followers who have benefited very little from Kalonzo’s presence in politics.
This negative cult following have ruined the real leadership in kenya. Ukambani politics must change hands for the community to benefit from national politics. Kalonzo is the wrong man to represent the Kamba people.
Kalonzo does not have…
Kalonzo does not have conviction for kenya. He believes he is on the light path whenever his indecisiveness on important matters creates a cloud of his personal greed and political immaturity.
He will even join Ruto as long as he materially benefit from the move while Ruto sets the entire country on fire. It’s shameful the way kalonzo has bangled kenya politics for selfish interests. Governor Mutua is right about Kalonzo useless leadership of the Kamba nation.
Kalonzo makes a bad gf that…
Kalonzo makes a bad gf that wants friend ship with benefits in break up and make up repeatedly. He’s going to fall with dynasties one last time
Kalonzo’s selfishness is…
Kalonzo’s selfishness is causing a split in Azimio. This guy is too overrated and very untrustworthy. I don’t know why Raila thinks Kalonzo is worth much. He is capable of winning with this chameleon Kalonzo’s hanging on his court-tails.
