Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has urged Members of Parliament in his party to reject the appointment of ODM members nominated for Cabinet Secretary positions.
The Azimio co-principal advised Wiper legislators to vote against the approval of the four nominees when they appear in parliament for vetting. “When those four names (Mbadi, Oparanya, Joho, and Wandayi) come to parliament for vetting, Wiper members should vote ‘No’,” Kalonzo told Wiper legislators at Kyuso Full Gospel Church on Sunday.
Kalonzo questioned how the four Cabinet nominees could work in a government they had strongly opposed, citing concerns about oppression. He also expressed frustration that, as a principal in Azimio, he was not consulted before the appointments were made, despite one of the nominees, Opiyo Wandayi, being the coalition’s minority whip in the National Assembly.
Kalonzo further stated that he is not interested in joining the government as a Cabinet Secretary, emphasizing his commitment to stand with the Gen Z generation in fighting for a better country.
While criticizing ODM members for accepting leadership positions in Kenya Kwanza, Kalonzo made it clear that he has no desire to work under President William Ruto’s administration.
