Azimio Reveal What Ruto is Doing to Them Behind the Scenes

Saturday, July 20, 2024 –Proposed contentious lineup of seven slots has seen those reportedly approached by the president refuse to take the Statehouse offers.

It has emerged that President William Ruto has directly made phone calls to various opposition figures pleading with them to pick the offers.

In the report aired by TV 47 on Saturday July 20, Ruto is said to have offered Wiper Party two cabinet slots where Robert Mbui and his counterpart from Matungulu Steven Mule were to be the first beneficiaries from Wiper Party of Kalonzo Musyoka.

Speaking today Saturday, former Ndaragwa Member of Parliament MP Jeremiah Kioni has shared rare details on how the head of State has been making advances to them in an effort to lure them with the plum State positions.

Kioni has disclosed that Ruto has been making direct phone calls to some of them and, sometimes, pitting one against another by revealing the secrete discussions.

“He has even talked to some of our people directly himself. He has approached people as parties and individuals. In fact, he has the audacity of playing one against another by revealing individual discussions,” Kioni shared.

He went on to state that, as a coalition, they have now decided to work as a team so that to avoid the president’s dragnet of divide and rule.

“We are very clear we are not boarding according to party leader’s statement,” Matungulu MP Steven Mule who has claimed to have been approached with the offer said.

It has also emerged that Raphael Tuju, Wycliffe Oparnya and Eugene Wamalwa, have also been offered cabinet positions in the Kenya Kwanza administration.

Narc-Kenya Party boss Martha Karua, who is Raila’s former running mate, has also warned Azimio members against joining the government. This is despite Raila’s public stance to have a dialogue with Ruto’s side amid Gen Zs protests over poor governance.
