Kalonzo, NASA presidential running mate, said that Uhuru has no moral authority to lecture him on matters of development yet he has not achieved much despite being the president for the last four years.
The former vice president said that it is clear Uhuru and Deputy William Ruto have sensed defeat as we head to the polls. “Ironically, even as the President and his deputy launched a tirade of attacks on me, his [Uhuru’s] own Gatundu backyard fares no better than most parts of Ukambani and other rural areas of Kenya in general,” Kalonzo said, as quoted by Star.
The lawmaker said that Gatundu is known for jiggers menace and other problems that Uhuru cannot boast about. “Abject poverty, characterized by the debilitating jigger menace, as well as alcoholism and drug abuse pervades the area that so far prides itself on having produced two Presidents — Jomo and Uhuru,” the former Vice President said.
The remarks of Kalonzo come after Uhuru asked him to cross over to the Jubilee side in order to form the government. Uhuru pleaded with Kalonzo to join him so that he could form the next government with Ruto.
