The MP is part of the group that has been accompanying the DP to his weekly engagements across the country and endorsing his presidential plans, under the Tangatanga tag.

However, he said that he is ready and willing to make an about turn on Uhuru's order, saying that he (Uhuru) is the one who introduced them to the DP and told them to work with him.

"If he wants to stop what is happening today he can. He has not called us to announce a change of plan. If he tells us he has changed it because of ABCD we will listen (Ile maneno iko akitaka kuisimamisha leo ataisimamisha. Hajatuita atuambie tumebadilisha kwa sababu ya ABCD, tutaskia)," Ngunjiri said.

The MP was speaking on Radio Jambo's Mazungunzo Waziwazi show on Wednesday night.

He added that he is personally ready to follow all directives handed down by the president, in a bid to avoid being seen as an interference in the relationship between Uhuru and Ruto.

At the same time, the vocal legislator insisted that the party remains intact despite its recent wrangles, the latest being Uhuru's attacks on the Tangatanga group on Sunday, over disrespect claims.

"The President and the Deputy President mimi siwezi ingia katikati yao (I cannot get between them)," he added.
