South Mugirango MP Sylvanus Osoro insists Raila Odinga Junior will still be nominated to serve in government by president Uhuru Kenyatta.
Last week, the outspoken legislator, who has openly differed with Raila Odinga's planned inauguration, claimed that the two protagonists have been secretly meeting.
"Raila and Uhuru are in talks and in fact, Raila has since moved on. It is now upon people to just accept and carry on with their lives," he said.
On Friday, Uhuru named his entire cabinet, omitting names of opposition luminaries as earlier expected.
But according to Osoro, Raila's son, Raila Junior, will still be considered in government as PS despite the radical stand by his father.
"Raila Junior will be nominated after all. He will serve as Principal Secretary and that is the fact. Mzee (Raila) is only looking for exit plan which will obviously be the swearing-in," he said.
Also, Osoro links Ex-Kisumu deputy Governor Ruth Odinga to an appointment to government to crown the alleged secretly deal with Uhuru.
