Wiper Leader and Former Vice president Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka has reportedly said that he has been a political detainee for over 10 years.
According to Kalonzo, it is time he became Kenya’s president. He also pointed out that being in the opposition is a very painful experience and he cannot afford to stay there.
Addressing the Saturday Nation, the flamboyant leader said that he has stood with leaders from various communities and now it is his turn to be supported.
“I have paid all my political debts. I paid my debts to the Kalenjin nation by standing with Daniel arap Moi all those years. I have paid my debts to the Kikuyu nation by supporting Mzee Kibaki at a critical time – and you know how Kibaki was – and I have paid my debts to the Luo nation by supporting Raila,” he added:
“If you put together all those years I have supported others it amounts to 10 years of detention because detention is really mental. I am saying these ‘nations’ should try sacrifice this time for the sake of the country.”
Kalonzo has also insisted that he will not leave the field of politics until President Uhuru Kenyatta leaves office not matter the duration it will take.
