Thirdway Alliance Party leader Ekuru Aukot has spoken over formation of his own shadow cabinet sooner than expected.
The former presidential candidate promised to come up with a team of experts who would keep President Uhuru Kenyatta’s government on check.
Mr. Aukot promised that he would form a credible opposition that would be tasked with the mandate of offering an alternative leadership.
He said, “The function of the cabinet will be to shadow the government. We will offer alternative leadership. We should be able to challenge the government of the day on policy. Our experts will question the government and offer better solutions.”
Furthermore, he added that his opposition leadership will make sure President Kenyatta appoints actual cabinet secretaries.
He affirms that anybody appointed will be checked against their suitability and they will keep them on their toes.
Speaking on the Kitui West by election, Mr. Aukot said that his party was looking for a suitable candidate to field for this race. Two people have already approved his party asking to be considered for this post.
However, Mr. Ben Mbai has proven to be the best option for this candidature, with the party members touting him on social media as their best man.
