Saturday, September 10, 2022 –Kenya Kwanza-allied politicians have now told off Tourism Cabinet Secretary Najib Balala that he will not be allowed to work with their new government as he had requested earlier.
Mr. Balala, on Friday September 9, had made a subtle appeal to the new president William Ruto to accommodate him in the new Cabinet which is set to be unveiled in a few days to come.
“I am happy and humbled and I thank President Kenyatta for giving me the chance to serve the nation I welcome President Ruto and I am ready to serve in his government whenever it’s necessary.
“I know by Tuesday we will cease being ministers because Uhuru’s government will cease on Tuesday and Ruto’s government will start and that is the time when we might be called to stay until the new appointees take over or we will be told to go home and wait to hand over,” he added.
But close allies of William Ruto among the Kiharu Member of Parliament Ndindi Nyoro and Nandi Senator Samson Cherergei have come out guns-blazing with a clear information that Mr. Balala, who has been in office for 15 years, will be allowed to retire together with Uhuru Kenyatta.
“We shall not allow @tunajibu anywhere near Kenya Kwanza Government. Let him retire Honourably with Uhuru Kenyatta. 15 years is enough,” MP Nyoro said.
This was a follow up message after firebrand Lawyer Miguna Miguna had asked the CS to find something else to keep him busy after 15 years of service to the nation.
