The fallout in Azimio has deepened with a
section of Azimio leaders declaring that Wiper Leader Kalonzo Musyoka is their
new leader after the ODM party opted to work with the government in a broad-based
government of national unity.
Although ODM has distanced itself from the claims of joining the government, Kalonzo Musyoka, Jeremiah Kioni and Eugene Wamalwa say they have released ODM from the Azimio fold.
Wiper, DAP-K and Jubilee Party leaders
toured Othaya Nyeri County Friday in what appeared to be an opposition
jumpstart after ODM developed cold feet in the cold and had its top bigwigs
join President William Ruto's cabinet.
Speaking just a day after Martha Karua's
Narc Kenya bolted out of the Azimio coalition, the leaders declared Musyoka as
their new leader.
“Sisi tumeamua kama Azimio kuwa tuachilie
mzee Raila aende kule AU na sasa Kalonzo Musyoka ndiye kiongozi wetu,” said
Wamalwa.
Kioni added, “Hiyo ndio msimamo wetu Kalonzo
Musyoka atuongoze kwa hii safari ya kutetea wakenya.”
The Wiper leader insisted that he is not
ready to join the government laughing off claims that he has been offered the
position of Attorney General that is yet to be filled by President Ruto.
“Mimi nimekuwa vice president wa Kibaki
hapa halafu mnasema nipatiwe nikuwe AG...hiyo ni kujishusha kiasi gani?” Posed
Kalonzo.
Kitui Senator Enock Wambua on his part
stated, “Kalonzo is not ready to join your government. Just make the remaining
appointments and leave Kalonzo out.”
The Wiper leader said he is ready to take
up the opposition role and keep in check President Ruto's newly found
government of national unity.
“Ruto kuanzia leo ajue mimi nitaanguka
naye...ikuwe wazi nitaanguka na Zakayo,” said Kalonzo.
The Azimio leaders further say the newly
nominated cabinet has betrayed the wishes of protestors.
