This follows recent remarks by Ruto that Western region owes him support in his 2022 presidential bid.

Speaking in Kakamega county last Saturday, Ruto said in 2007, when he and Musalia Mudavadi were in ODM, he let him and Raila Odinga take the positions of Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister after the Grand Coalition government.

During an nterview on Radio Sauti ya Mwananchi Saturday evening, Koigi said such politics are dangerous for the country.

"Hizi ni siasa mbaya na hatari amabazo huenda zikawalazimisha wananchi kupiga kura kwa njia isiyofaa (this type of negative politicking will push Kenyans into wrong voting patterns)," he said.

Koigi claimed the DP is riding on tribal formations to realize his presidential bid.

"Amewasadikisha wakalenjin kuwa yeye ndio bora na sasa hawajali kama anafaa ama la. Pia sasa ameanza kuwadai wakenya wa kabila zingine. (he has already made Kalenjins believe that he is the best and is now trying to trap other communities into thinking that they owe him)," said Koigi.
