Former Machakos Senator Johnstone Muthama has offered to lead coalition talks that will see Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka be part of a 2022 presidential ticket.
The outspoken politician said that he would convene a meeting of politicians from the Kamba nation so that a discussion on the matter can be had.
He contended that the relationship that the Kamba nation has had for a long time with veteran opposition leader Raila Odinga had drawn to a close.
“I will soon convene a meeting of all elected leaders including MPs and MCAs as well as opinion leaders so that we dialogue over this matter. Our (Kamba’s) political chapter with ODM leader Raila Odinga is closed. We will negotiate with Ruto, Musalia (Musalia) and Moses (Wetangula),” Muthama is quoted.
“If President Uhuru Kenyatta has not asked MPs to impeach Ruto over widespread allegations of corruption, why should the Kamba community be swayed by corruption tags on the DP by his political haters?” he added.
Muthama was a staunch campaigner of former prime minister Raila Odinga in the lead up to the 2017 elections.
His support for the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader saw him arrested over utterances that were deemed as incitement.
