On Friday, Uhuru made a number of appointments to state jobs in which Raila Odinga's allies Robert Arunga, Norman Magaya among others were considered.

A source who spoke in confidence said the former critic of Jubilee administration declined an offer to one of the parastatals because he's 'too much engaged'.

"He was supposed to join one of the parastatals as goodwill gesture for handshake but he declined.

"For now he says that he's too much engaged in other areas thus unbale to join," said the source.

Last year, Bosire lost to Jubilee's Shadrack Mose in Kitutu Masaba race after being at the helm for five years.

Trained as an economist from the University of Nairobi, Bosire is said to be keen to replace governor John Nyagarama who retires in 2022.

Last week, he accused Jubilee adminstration of doing little to uplift living standards of people.

"They are over taxing our people but MPs are silent. This is the moment we need to see them whistling in parliament," he said at a funeral in Nyamira.
