An MP affiliated to Cord Co-Principal Kalonzo Musyoka's Wiper party has rubbished reports that the former Vice President is headed to join the ruling Jubilee coalition.

Matungulu MP Stephen Mutinda in a letter to one of the dailies published on April 15 said the Wiper party leader had no intention ditching Coalition for Reforms and Democracy which he supported during the 2013 general election.

"I can tell you categorically that His Excellency Hon Kalonzo Musyoka has no intention of joining Jubilee," Mr Mutinda said.

"There has been a lot of empty talk on this subject, and it is all nonsense. Who is dreaming that this is even possible? Those are empty daydreams. We know very well that Jubilee are doing all that they can, inside Parliament and outside Parliament, and trying to apply coercion. They even have all kinds of mercenaries and other people who are being sent around to spread those kinds of rumours. Others are being asked to try and approach Kalonzo."

The letter was published a day after MPs from Kitui County led by Senator David Musila held talks with President Uhuru Kenyatta at State House Nairobi.

Although sources hinted that the State House talks centered at devising ways of convincing the Kamba community to support Jubilee during the 2017 general election, Machakos Senator Johnston Muthama quickly joined the debate arguing discussions were purely developmental.

Mr Mutinda said discussions to woo Kalonzo to Jubilee were a waste of time.

"It is all a waste of time. The Lower Eastern region, or Ukambani, if you want to call it that, is in Cord to stay," Mutinda said.

"Let me restate for the sake of clarity that Kalonzo Musyoka is not ready to join Jubilee."

Ukambani region is among regions in the country Jubilee has been trying to woo ahead of the next general election.

Already Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua is said to be closely working with the Jubilee administration, a development that has created a frosty relationship between the governor who was elected on a Wiper party ticket in 2013 and Mr Musyoka.

Mutinda said the Kamba community would not support Jubilee even if Kalonzo joined the ruling coalition.
