Kakamega Governor Wycliffe Oparanya has spoken out over comments made by Deputy President William Ruto.
During a recent rally in Kiambu, Ruto said the Kakamega governor had switched allegiances from NASA to Jubilee.
However, Oparanya has refuted these claims and termed them as 'erroneous'.
“The mention of my name in relation to Vihiga and Jubilee is baffling. I expect an immediate correction and apology from the Deputy President,” Oparanya said.
According to Oparanya the DP has mistaken his name with that of Vihiga Governor Moses Akaranga during his speech.
He maintained that he is still apart of the opposition party.
“I have been and remain steadfast in ODM and NASA,” Oparanya said.
“I’m urging people of Vihiga, Kakamega, Bungoma, Busia and Trans Nzoia counties to remain focused in NASA,” Oparanya said. This comes in the midst of strong criticism of NASA elected leaders in the Kaakmega region for their failure to get involved in the anti-IEBC demos raising speculations that they may have decamped to Jubilee.
