Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has urged Members of Parliament in his party to reject the appointment of ODM members nominated for Cabinet Secretary positions.

 

The Azimio co-principal told members of his party not to approve the appointment of the four when they will appear in parliament for vetting.

 

“Those four names (Mbadi, Oparanya, Joho a nd Wandayi), when they come to parliament for vetting, Wiper members should vote ‘No’,” Kalonzo told Wiper legislators at Kyuso Full Gospel Church on Sunday.

 

Kalonzo questioned how the four Cabinet nominees would work in a government that they strongly opposed on grounds of oppressing Kenyans.

 

He also argued that as a principal in Azimio, he was not consulted before the appointments were made, yet one of the nominees, Opiyo Wandayi, is the coalition’s minority whip in the National Assembly.

 

Kalonzo has also said he is not interested in joining the government as a CS stating he'll stick with the Gen z's on fighting for a better country.

 

While faulting ODM members for their decision to take up leadership positions in Kenya Kwanza, Kalonzo has stated he has no interests in working under President William Ruto’s government.
