Westlands MP Tim Wanyonyi has for the first time spoken about his association with elder brother Moses Wetangula.
In an interview with the Star, the ODM second term MP said when he meets Wetangula, their discussion only revolves around the family.
Wetangula is the leader of Ford Kenya and the Bungoma Senator. He has been in politics since 1997 and served as minister.
According to Tim Wanyonyi, who was first elected in 2013, he has never been a member of his brother's party, adding that he has never been questioned either by anyone.
“My brother and I don’t talk politics at all. When we meet, we discuss family issues. He knows my stand on this and cannot ask why I am not supporting Ford Kenya. He knows my interest is in ODM,” the MP said in the interview.
“I’ve never been a member of Ford Kenya for starters. The only political party I have been a member of is ODM,” he added.
After his admission to the bar in 1996, having graduated from Kenya School of Law a year earlier, Tim Wanyonyi joined his brother’s law firm, Wetang’ula and Company Advocates, where he honed his legal skills.
“After my accident, I had to exit because it looked like I was heavily relying on my brother. The situation made me feel it would not be proper for me to continue working there,” he said.
Wetangula has announced intentions to run for the presidency but Tim Wanyonyi remains committed to his ODM party and Raila Odinga.
