Veteran politician Koigi wa Wamwere has revealed why he ditched President Kenyatta's Jubilee party and joined the Opposition, The National Super Alliance, NASA.
Koigi has said people from his community should not see him as a traitor because he can help them one day like the bibilical Joseph who was sold to slavery and then came to the rescue of his family in times of hunger.
Koigi said communities should not deny their members the opportunity to join alliances seem to belong to certain communities because such people might help them in future.
"It is wisdom protective of ethnic communities when people join parties with different ethnic leaders which cannot leave them out of government or plot genocide against them," he said.
He added: "It is clever communities never put all their eggs in one basket. When a community is able to join parties led by other Kenyans, it is protected when it is represented in the leadership of the ruling party as well as the opposition. If a community has its leaders in all parties, it will share in the victory of the ruling party and that of the opposition when it come to power."
