Opposition leader Raila Odinga claims that the government is 'desperate to lure his running mate Kalonzo Musyoka in an attempt to have him included in government.
Kalonzo, who is reportedly attending to his sick wife in Germany, has been out of political limelight in what Odinga refers to a 'personal problem'.
"They know that our brother Kalonzo is having personal problems and it will not be a surprise if government operatives take advantage of the situation," Odinga told the Sunday Nation.
Also, Odinga has claimed that some government operatives have approached him with Sh25bn to persuade him to drop his hard stand, an offer he rejected.
But according to him, the government is planning to invade Wiper party by creating a ministerial position for Kalonzo, a plan he says won't succeed.
"They will dangle a position for him in cabinet and thereafter raid Wiper to ensure its MPs cross over to Jubilee because they want Kenya to be a single party. That will not work," he said.
Odinga's NASA coalition has dismissed Uhuru Kenyatta's victory in an election which Odinga boycotted and has reverted to boycotts and protests to cripple the government.
Moments before the controversial repeat poll, in a telephone call from Germany, Kalonzo urged NASA supporters to boycott elections.
