An MP allied to Ford Kenya leader Moses Wetangula has revealed why the NASA co-principal failed to attend the swearing-in of Raila Odinga on Tuesday last week.
Tongaren MP Eseli Simiyu has revealed that Wetang’ula skipped Raila Odinga’s 'swearing-in' as he was strategising about his own bid in 2022.
Simiyu, the Ford Kenya secretary general stated: “If you are storing seeds, you don’t do so in one place. If one spoils, you should remain with another for the planting season. The January 30 [swearing-in] was a spoilt seed”.
Simiyu argued that since Wetangula was not supposed to take an oath since it was a Raila event.
"We will ensure we bring the required reforms in this country so we stop this issue of restricting the presidency to two ethnic groups”.
At a joint press conference on Thursday, Moses Wetang’ula, Kalonzo, Raila and ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi dismissed claims of rifts among them.
Kalonzo attributed his no-show at Uhuru Park for the opposition’s planned 'inauguration' to the withdrawal of his security detail.
