Wiper Party deputy secretary general Peter Mathuki has defended Kalonzo Musyoka over claims that he is not committed to being sworn in as the People’s Deputy President.
Mathuki said Kalonzo is committed to the oath contrary to media reports.

“I think the media should be objective and stop running unconfirmed reports on Kalonzo,” he added.

Mathuki also refuted claims of cracks in NASA.
