Orange Democratic Movement Secretary General Edwin Sifuna has potrayed former Vice President Musalia Mudavadi as an indecisive leader.
In a statement on Thursday, Sifuna insisted that Mr Mudavadi is a kind of a politician who sits pretty and waits for things to happen without putting any effort.
On Wednesday in the US, Mudavadi dismissed President Uhuru Kenyatta's handshake with Raila Odinga as hypocritical, adding that the two were under pressure from International community.
While addressing Kenyans in the diaspora, in a meeting at Muungano SDA Church in New Jersey in the USA; Musalia lifted the lead with new claims castigating the genesis of Uhuru-Raila truce.
He claimed that Uhuru and Raila only committed to a ceasefire after they were threatened with Visa cancellation from Western countries.
“The secret is that slowly Visas were being cancelled. And when Visas are cancelled, they don’t just cancel yours alone. They cancel yours, that of your wife, children and relatives,” he said.
He swore that his claims were truthful and went on to say: “I want you to go home knowing that I, Musalia, do not believe in cheating you. I believe in telling you the truth. So what gave birth to handshake is personal survival rather than patriotism.”
While revisiting Raila Odinga's controversial swearing-in in January 2018, Sifuna claimed that Mr Mudavadi, who had supported the plan, switched off his phone and disappeared.
A statement from the party partly reads: “At the last minute, he is known to have switched off his phone, possibly to have it "woken up" by a Nigerian line later, and disappeared from his colleagues.”
“In subsequent years, Mr Mudavadi has perfected the philosophy of the so-called safe hands, waiting like the proverbial hyena who waited for a man's hands to fall,” it adds.
