Ford Kenya party has distanced itself from two MPs who attended a retreat organised by DP William Ruto's allies.
Over 140 MPs allied to Tanga Tanga wing convened in Naivasha where they announced intentions to hold parallel Building Bridges Initiative rallies.
Elgeyo-Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen was one of the leaders who planned the Naivasha retreat.
But Bungoma Woman Representative Catherine Wambilianga and Hamisi MP Charles Gimose's presence has irked the Ford Kenya party.
Through the party's Secretary-General Mandu Mandu, the party insists that the two attended in their own capacity without the party's blessings.
“On their own capacity as individuals and did not in whatsoever manner represent Ford Kenya party.”
“The sentiments given by the Bungoma woman MP on live TV representing the Tanga Tanga movement should as well be treated as personal. However Ford Kenya party and the party leadership is committed to supporting the BBI report, review and implementation as earlier communicated through the leadership,” Mandu said.
Bungoma Senator Moses Wetangula, who is also the party leader, has often insisted that he supports the handshake between President Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga.
DP Ruto has often been accused of plotting against the Building Bridges Initiative report, a claim which he has often dismissed.
