Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka has blamed the Jubilee government for the defeat of Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohamed in the race to become chairperson of the African Union Commission.
Speaking during a voter registration drive at Ntulele in Narok County on Tuesday, Kalonzo said the runaway corruption in the ruling Jubilee administration is what made Amina lose in Monday's elections in Addis Ababa.
"Amina Mohamed is a brilliant lady and I have faith in her. She was defeated, not because she is not fit for the job but because of Jubilee's bad reputation," said Kalonzo as quoted by The Standard.
The former Vice President added: "It is the bad name Jubilee has made for itself through mega scandals that made even the East African countries fail to support CS Amina."
Kalonzo accused President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto of ruining the country, adding that Kenyans should register in large numbers to send the duo home in the August general elections.
"It now clear even our neighbours Uganda, Burundi and Rwanda have no faith in Kenya because of this government," he said.
The Cord co-principal lambasted the government for engaging in an extensive campaign of three months that cost the country about Sh350 million instead of helping Kenyans facing starvation.
"It is unfortunate the government wasted hundreds of millions campaigning for Amina, money that could have been used to save the many Kenyans who have been affected by drought," he added.
