Kalonzo Musyoka Decries “Excessive” Security for Raphael Tuju Amid Hospitalization

Posted on by Dennis Elnino

Wiper Democratic Movement leader Kalonzo Musyoka has raised concerns over the heavy police presence surrounding former Cabinet Secretary Raphael Tuju as he recovers in a Nairobi hospital. Speaking to the press on Tuesday, March 24, 2026, the former Vice President characterized the deployment as a “waste of taxpayers’ resources” and a violation of Tuju’s dignity.

Concerns Over Police Welfare and Resource Allocation

Kalonzo questioned the necessity of assigning three police officers to guard Tuju’s hospital room, suggesting that these security assets could be better utilized elsewhere in the country. During his visit to the medical facility, the opposition leader painted a grim picture of the conditions faced by the officers on duty.

“What is the need for spending taxpayers’ money keeping three policemen here?” Kalonzo remarked.

He further claimed that the officers have been forced to rely on the generosity of the hospital’s management for sustenance.

“We thank Doctor Gikonyo because he is giving them lunch; they are eating food meant for patients. These officers are doing their duty, but they are very hungry.”

“He is Not a Terrorist”

The Wiper leader took issue with the manner in which Tuju—a veteran politician who served in the cabinets of both Mwai Kibaki and Uhuru Kenyatta—is being handled. Kalonzo argued that the former CS is being treated like a “terrorist” despite his established constitutional rights and current health challenges.

“Tuju is not a terrorist. The way he was handled yesterday in our presence showed nothing short of a terrorist attack on a Kenyan,” Kalonzo stated. He linked the heightened security to ongoing legal and personal battles regarding Tuju’s property, vowing that the opposition would use all legal channels to protect the former CS from what he described as “vicious vultures” keen on seizing his assets.

A Challenge to President Ruto

The statement served as a direct rebuttal to earlier remarks by President William Ruto, who had suggested that Tuju was in need of “honest friends” during his current predicament. Kalonzo challenged the President to demonstrate true friendship by ordering the immediate withdrawal of the police officers stationed at the hospital.

Maintaining that the opposition figures currently standing by Tuju are his genuine allies, Kalonzo emphasized that their presence is a show of solidarity against state-led intimidation. As of Wednesday morning, the heavy security detail remains in place at the facility, with the government yet to issue a formal response to Kalonzo’s allegations regarding the officers’ welfare.

Kalonzo Musyoka Stakes Claim To Kibaki’s Legacy, Defends His Development Record

Posted on by Dennis Elnino

Wiper Democratic Movement leader Kalonzo Musyoka has asserted that the successful legacy of the late former President Mwai Kibaki is inseparable from his own political journey. Speaking in a recent interview on NTV, the former Vice President (2008–2013) repeatedly used the collective “we” to highlight the milestones achieved during his tenure as Kibaki’s principal assistant.

The “Kibaki-Kalonzo” Achievements

Kalonzo pointed to major infrastructure and diplomatic successes as shared victories, noting that Kenyans should view him as a key architect of that era’s progress.

  • Infrastructure: He specifically cited the construction of the Thika Superhighway as a landmark project completed under their joint leadership.

  • Regional Diplomacy: He took credit for the administration’s role in the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) signed in Nairobi, which eventually led to the independence of South Sudan. “The work ‘we’ did… gave birth to the Republic of South Sudan,” Kalonzo insisted.

Defending His Local Track Record

Beyond his national role, Kalonzo defended his long-standing tenure as the Member of Parliament for Kitui North (1985–2013). He challenged critics to look at his consistent electoral victories as proof of his development record, asking rhetorically why voters would repeatedly re-elect him for nearly three decades if he had not delivered.

Addressing President William Ruto’s recent jabs regarding the road leading to Kalonzo’s Tseikuru home, the Wiper leader maintained that he practiced selfless leadership. He explained that he launched the road project toward the end of his vice presidency because “leaders eat last,” contrasting this with what he described as President Ruto’s tendency to prioritize development in his own home region.

Critique of the “Singapore Vision”

Kalonzo further distanced himself from the current administration by highlighting his “clean track record,” claiming he remains untainted by the graft allegations that shadow his competitors. He also took a swipe at President Ruto’s ambition to model Kenya after Singapore, dismissing the plan as unrealistic. According to Kalonzo, such a transformation is impossible under the current economic climate and the country’s staggering unemployment rates.

Why Kalonzo took 100 head of cattle to Bondo

Posted on by Ozymandias

Former Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka turned heads on Thursday after gifting 100 cows to the family of the late Raila Odinga during a Tero Buru ceremony at Bondo Farm in Siaya County.

The gesture, which drew widespread attention, carried deep cultural and symbolic meaning within Luo traditions of mourning and honour.

A Symbolic Gesture of Solidarity

Kalonzo’s presentation of 100 cows was widely viewed as a profound expression of solidarity, respect, and friendship toward the Odinga family. In Luo culture, cattle symbolize wealth, unity, and goodwill—values that extend beyond material generosity.

His offering was seen not only as a gesture of condolence but also as a tribute to Raila Odinga’s lasting political and social legacy in Kenya.

The Tero Buru, performed after burial, is a traditional cleansing ritual marking the deceased’s passage into the ancestral realm. The ceremony often features songs, dances, and a procession of cattle, signifying communal strength and continuity.

The Cultural Power of Cattle

Among the Luo, cattle hold a revered place in social and spiritual life. They are central to key rites such as marriage, dowry, reconciliation, and funerals, acting as a link between the living and their ancestors.

During mourning rituals like Tero Buru, the presence of cows represents purification, communal support, and renewed family unity. The act is believed to bring peace to the spirit of the departed and comfort to the bereaved, affirming that life endures beyond loss.

Preserving Tradition in Modern Times

The colourful ceremony in Bondo highlighted the Luo community’s commitment to preserving traditional values amid modern change. Elders present at the event underscored that such customs remind younger generations of the importance of respect, identity, and togetherness.

By offering the herd, Kalonzo Musyoka not only honoured Raila Odinga’s memory but also reaffirmed the enduring relevance of Luo cultural practices.

As the cattle grazed across Bondo Farm, they stood as a living symbol of respect, friendship, and cultural continuity—a bridge between generations and a reminder of how tradition continues to shape expressions of empathy and unity in Kenyan society.

Kalonzo Musyoka Reveals Raila Odinga Survived Deadly 2023 Police Attack: “We Counted 10 Bullet Shots”

Posted on by Ozymandias

Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has made shocking revelations about a near-assassination attempt on the late opposition leader Raila Odinga during the 2023 anti-government protests, saying police fired ten bullets directly at Odinga’s vehicle.

Speaking on Thursday, November 6, 2025, during a solemn visit to Raila’s final resting place in Bondo, Siaya County, Kalonzo described the incident as “a miracle escape” — one that could have altered Kenya’s political history.

The Wiper leader, who was accompanied by top party officials and governors, also presented the Odinga family with 150 head of cattle as a traditional gesture of respect, unity, and shared mourning.

“We Counted Ten Bullet Shots”

Addressing mourners at Kango Ka Jaramogi, Kalonzo vividly recalled the tense 2023 standoff in Embakasi South, where he and Raila were leading nationwide demonstrations over the soaring cost of living.

“We went, we counted ten bullet attempts on my brother,” Kalonzo revealed. “It was amazing — the kind of attack that happened that day. The orders seemed very clear: to eliminate Raila Odinga.”

According to him, only the presence of an armoured vehicle saved Raila’s life.

“If it were not that he was having an armoured vehicle, we would have buried him in 2023,” he said solemnly.

After the attack, the two leaders reportedly fled to the home of Raphael Tuju in Karen, narrowly escaping what Kalonzo described as a “targeted political assault.”

Honouring the ‘Father of Maandamano’

The Thursday visit, which began in Kisumu, saw Kalonzo’s delegation stop at the Opoda home before proceeding to Raila’s grave.

Kalonzo, dressed in jungle green traditional attire and carrying a spear and shield, was welcomed by Mama Ida Odinga. As part of the Luo mourning tradition, he led the crowd in chanting “Jowi! Jowi!” — a cry reserved for fallen heroes.

The Wiper leader eulogized Raila as “the father of maandamano”, a leader who fought tirelessly for democracy and devolution.

“Raila will be more powerful in death than when he was alive because he inspired young Kenyans,” Kalonzo said.

Leaders, Elders, and Loyalists Pay Tribute

Among those who joined the Wiper leader were Machakos Governor Wavinya Ndeti, Makueni Governor Mutula Kilonzo Jr, several MPs, elders from Ukambani, and religious leaders.

The group laid wreaths and offered prayers at the gravesite, pledging to uphold Raila’s legacy and continue his fight against bad governance.

“The values Raila lived for — justice, democracy, and equality — will never die,” Kalonzo declared, promising that the opposition would keep resisting oppression in his honour.

The emotional visit not only reignited memories of Raila’s long political struggle but also revealed, for the first time, just how close Kenya came to losing one of its most iconic figures during the turbulent protests of 2023.

Kalonzo Hits Back At Ruto For Claiming Opposition Has No Plan

Posted on by Dennis Elnino

Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has responded sharply to President William Ruto’s recent assertion that the Opposition lacks a clear plan for leading Kenya. In a statement released on Wednesday, July 23, Musyoka countered Ruto’s claims that the Opposition is merely clinging to the “Ruto Must Go” slogan without offering any tangible development agenda for the nation.

On Wednesday, President Ruto had intensified his criticism, claiming that individuals pushing for his removal from office are part of what he termed the “wash wash” gang – a derogatory reference to fraudsters and con artists with no genuine plan for the country. Speaking during the Talanta Bell-Ringing ceremony at the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE), Ruto stated that his administration’s critics are adept at slogans but have failed to propose concrete solutions to Kenya’s pressing challenges.

“I hear some people say ‘Ruto must go’, and that is fine – my time will come like those who came before me. But what is your plan when I go?” the President posed, directly challenging his detractors to present alternative ideas if they genuinely believe the country is on the wrong path. “It is okay if you do not agree with my policies, but please provide us with your counterplan,” Ruto stated.

Man With A Plan

However, Kalonzo Musyoka, while revealing he is currently out of the country for “strategic planning,” asserted that he will present his plan for Kenya to Kenyans for review, and not to Ruto. Even so, he reiterated that the immediate and primary agenda remains for Ruto to serve only one term, aiming for his ouster in the 2027 General Elections.

“I’m currently out of the country for strategic planning for a better Kenya. I will make my plan for Kenya for Kenyans to review, not Ruto. Agenda No. 1 is Ruto Must Go,” Musyoka firmly declared.

Ruto had further mocked what he called empty opposition rhetoric, likening it to fraudulent schemes.

“The more I listen, the more it sounds like sloganeering without a plan. They are saying, ‘Let Ruto go, and we will figure out the plan later.’ That sounds like wash wash conmanship,” he added, directly challenging opposition leaders. “If you truly have a better economic, education, health, or jobs plan, you should be bold enough to table it.”

Despite the massive popularity slogans such as ‘Ruto Must Go’ and ‘Wantam’ have garnered over the past few months, a new dynamic has emerged in Kenyans’ assessment of opposition leaders like Kalonzo, former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, and former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i. There is now a heightened scrutiny on what these leaders plan to do if they were to ascend to power. This shift in public expectation is particularly notable after the emergence of Chief Justice David Maraga, who, many have observed, is actively presenting his detailed plan for the country should he be elected, even as he seeks public support and funding.

Despite this evolving political landscape, Kalonzo and his allies have steadfastly reiterated that their ultimate goal remains to oust Ruto via the ballot box. They continue to argue that his administration’s policies, such as the contentious housing levy and the Social Health Authority (SHA), along with perceived oppressive tactics, are actively driving the nation backwards.

Wiper Democratic Movement Rebrands To Wiper Patriotic Front

Posted on by Dennis Elnino

The Wiper Democratic Movement party, led by former Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka, has officially rebranded to the Wiper Patriotic Front (WPF). This change was announced by the Registrar of Political Parties, Ann Nderitu, in a gazette notice.

The gazette notice issued a seven-day window for any objections to the name change, inviting the public to submit memoranda to the Registrar.

“In exercise of the power conferred by section 20 (1) (d) of the Political Parties Act, the Registrar of Political Parties gives notice that Wiper Democratic Movement (WDM) intends to change its party name to Wiper Patriotic Front (WPF),” the notice stated.

This marks the latest in a series of transformations for the party. Founded in 2006 as the Orange Democratic Movement–Kenya (ODM–Kenya) following the 2005 constitutional referendum, it later became the Wiper Democratic Movement – Kenya in 2011 to distinguish itself from Raila Odinga’s ODM. In 2021, the “Kenya” tag was dropped, simplifying the name to Wiper Democratic Movement.

The current rebranding appears to be strategically aligned with the upcoming 2027 General Election, particularly with an emphasis on youth voter registration. Kalonzo Musyoka has previously indicated that the name change is a tribute to the Gen Z youth who tragically lost their lives during the anti-Finance Bill protests in 2024.

Wiper’s move mirrors similar political maneuvers by other opposition figures as Kenya’s political landscape heats up. Martha Karua recently rebranded her National Rainbow Coalition-Kenya (NARC-K) party to the People’s Liberation Party (PLP), complete with new party colors (lilac, white, and purple), a revised symbol (a purple rose), and a new slogan, “Unite, Liberate,” replacing “One Kenya, One Nation, One People.”

Meanwhile, former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has launched a new political outfit, the Democracy for Citizens’ Party (DCP), following his reported ousting from the United Democratic Alliance (UDA). The DCP’s identity features a neon green and white emblem with the engraving “Skiza Wakenya” and a logo depicting fingers holding an ear. Senior leaders within the DCP include former Bungoma Senator Cleophas Malala, former Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mithika Linturi, and former Lakipia Senator Cate Waruguru.

How Uhuru Attempted to Postpone Daughter Ngina’s Wedding

Posted on by Ozymandias

Kalonzo’s daughter, Damarie Saada, was marrying her fiancé Martin Nyaga in a ceremony attended by both Kalonzo and President Uhuru Kenyatta. The two leaders were seated nearby, sharing smiles as the couple exchanged vows.

In his remarks, President Kenyatta expressed his gratitude for the friendship and solidarity from Kalonzo’s family, particularly noting his attendance at the wedding of Damarie and Martin in Naivasha, a popular wedding destination in Kenya.

Uhuru, while addressing the guests, reflected on his own daughter Ngina’s wedding, advising the newlyweds. In a TikTok video posted by MC Wakili, the President shared how emotionally challenging it was to let go of his daughter.

He humorously recalled trying to delay Ngina’s wedding, mentioning how he used excuses such as waiting for the COVID situation to ease, and how eventually, he ran out of reasons to postpone it, prompting laughter from the guests.

Uhuru also complimented the groom, Martin, for his good behavior, joking about how some men think they can take what they want without considering the family. He reassured Kalonzo, acknowledging the difficulty of letting go of a daughter, but offering support, saying, “We all go through that. I went through the same thing.”

Ngina Kenyatta, who had a traditional wedding in 2022, had her details leaked by Dennis Itumbi, who shared news of her Gurario ceremony. It was rumored that Ngina was engaged to Alex Mwai, son of the Karen Club’s General Manager. The event was highly private, with guests reportedly prohibited from using phones to capture moments.

ODM leadership has responded to the incident where thugs disrupted Kalonzo’s speech

Posted on by Ozymandias

Division within the Azimio Coalition appears to have deepened further following recent chaotic events during a coalition meeting. The meeting, held at the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Foundation grounds, witnessed the disruption where goons prevented Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka from delivering his speech.

Azimio members, including co-principal Raila Odinga, had gathered for the meeting. At its conclusion, Kalonzo Musyoka was expected to announce the resolutions passed during the gathering. However, shortly into his address, the venue was stormed by goons who disrupted proceedings with chants of “meeting imeisha; kila mtu atoke nje,” and forcefully removed journalists covering the event.

In response to the chaos, ODM Secretary General Edwin Sifuna expressed regret over the incident and pledged to take action against those responsible.

“I have learned of the shocking disruption that happened at the tail end of the Azimio PG this afternoon. I left the PG early for the airport and I’m still unclear as to the circumstances of the incident. I unreservedly condemn this uncouth behaviour and hope that the coalition takes action against those responsible.”

Sifuna also addressed the journalists who were injured during the incident, stating that measures are being taken to ensure their well-being.

“I’ve spoken to the chair of the political journalists association Rawlings Otieno who confirms two journalists and a driver from one of the media houses were roughed up in the melee at the Azimio PG. As we await word from the Coalition, I’m taking steps to ensure they are OK. This incident is highly regrettable,” Sifuna added.

Following the disruption, Azimio suspended the address but later issued a statement outlining the resolutions from the PG meeting. A key resolution emphasized the coalition’s firm rejection of participating in the proposed broad-based government suggested by President William Ruto after recent nationwide demonstrations.

“For the avoidance of doubt, the Azimio-OKA coalition will not be part of the proposed broad-based or any other government with the Kenya Kwanza coalition,” the statement clarified.

Additionally, Azimio demanded the immediate apprehension of rogue police officers implicated in violence, deaths, and kidnappings during peaceful protests since the Finance Bill demonstrations began on June 18, 2024. They also called for government compensation for victims of police violence and coverage of hospital bills for those injured in police shootings.

Kalonzo Musyoka’s son holds wedding filled with powerful dignitaries

Posted on by Ozymandias

Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka’s son, Kelvin Muasya, marked his wedding day on Saturday with a vibrant ceremony held in Maanzoni, Machakos.

Muasya tied the knot with Sharon Nthoki, fondly referred to by his father, Kalonzo, as his ‘rib’ and “God’s appointed helper.”

The traditional ceremony attracted a host of distinguished guests from the Azimio coalition, led by Raila Odinga.

Among the attendees were Eugene Wamalwa, Opiyo Wandayi, Wyclife Oparanya, Jeremiah Kioni, as well as governors Wavinya Ndeti of Machakos and Mutula Kilonzo Jnr of Makueni.

“Special thanks to Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Party Leader Rt Hon Raila Odinga for gracing us with your presence and delivering such a beautiful message. I’m grateful to DAP Kenya party leader Eugene Wamalwa and Jubilee Party secretary general Jeremiah Kioni for joining us on this special day,” expressed Kalonzo.

“To our family and friends, your presence was deeply appreciated,” he added.

Kalonzo concluded his message to the newlyweds with a biblical quote, extending his wishes for a joyous married life.

“Genesis 2:18 tells us, ‘Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.”’

“Today, my son Muasya has found his ‘rib’ and God’s appointed helper in Nthoki. Thank you for allowing us to share in your joyous occasion, and may your love continue to flourish with each passing year.”

“Congratulations to the couple; may happiness accompany them on their journey together,” conveyed Azimio leader Raila Odinga to the newlyweds.

“I’m thrilled to join Kelvin Muasya Musyoka and Sharon Nthoki at their pre-wedding celebration in Maanzoni, Machakos County. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness and love,” added Wandayi.

Kenya Reels as Electricity Tariff Hikes Bite, Kalonzo Blasts Ruto

Posted on by Ozymandias

Kenya’s cost-of-living crisis deepened on Thursday as electricity prices soared by 16.5%, adding to the already heavy burden on struggling Kenyans. The opposition, led by Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka, seized the opportunity to lambast President William Ruto’s government, accusing it of failing to tame inflation.

Rising Costs, Angry Public:

In a fiery statement, Musyoka declared: “This latest increase is an unacceptable burden on tired, hungry, and angry Kenyans. It’s a clear example of the Kenya Kwanza regime’s inability to address the cost-of-living crisis.” He warned the government, “You want to leave us in the dark, but know this: kuna nuru gizani (there is light in the darkness).”

The price hike, effective January 2024, saw electricity unit costs jump from Sh3.98 to Sh4.33. The Energy and Petroleum Regulation Authority attributed the increase to a surge in the forex adjustment charge, reflecting the weakening Kenyan shilling against major currencies.

Kenyans React:

Musyoka’s statement resonated with Kenyans, igniting a range of reactions on social media. Many expressed frustration and disappointment with the government’s handling of the economy:

  • Captain Omondi: “We will overcome, but we will also learn that he (President Ruto) has failed Kenyans.”
  • Prof Wekesa: “Be bold. Come out daily and defend Kenyans. Just talk on taxes.”
  • Captain Allanoh: “Take action. We want to see you in court, challenging this decision based on foreign currency.”
  • Edwin Wafula: “The problem is just talking. Stand up today Kalonzo, we shall remember you.”

However, some Kenyans urged a more constructive approach, calling for solutions beyond mere criticism:

  • George Njoroge: “Instead of dwelling on the pain, let’s explore potential solutions to address forex charges and fuel costs. How would you have managed these challenges?”

With inflation showing no signs of abating, Kenyans look to both the opposition and the government for concrete steps to alleviate their burdens and bring light to the current darkness.

AP Officer Guarding Kalonzo Musyoka’s Home Dies by Suicide

Posted on by Ozymandias

An AP officer assigned to guard the Tseikuru rural home of Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka has died by suicide. The officer, whose identity has not been released yet, was found unconscious at his residence on Sunday morning. He was rushed to the nearby Mumoni Nursing Hospital in Tseikuru trading center, where he succumbed to his injuries.

Kitui county police commander Leah Kithei confirmed the incident and stated that an investigation into the death is underway. “Let’s wait until the conclusion of the probe, including the autopsy, for the truth to come out. Sooner than later, we will know what happened,” she said.

Sources in Tseikuru claim that the officer had harbored suicidal thoughts for a while and had previously attempted to take his life by consuming poison.

Man Rescued After Poisoning Attempt

In a separate incident, a man from Kalimbui village is recuperating at Tseikuru Subcounty Hospital after he was rescued by relatives and taken to the hospital following a poison attempt. The man’s condition is stable, and he is expected to make a full recovery.

Azimio activist Gaucho demands Raila name Kalonzo his successor

Posted on by Ozymandias

Calvince “Gaucho” Okoth, a self-proclaimed ghetto president, has called for unity among the youth in the opposition’s Azimio la Umoja coalition.

Speaking at a church service attended by Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka, Gaucho said that the youth need to come together and overcome the challenges they face in their daily lives.

He also urged the youth to be vigilant and to protect themselves from harm, in light of recent threats against Raila Odinga.

Gaucho thanked Musyoka for supporting him during the tough political times he has endured in recent times. He also noted that several lawmakers skipped the recent countrywide anti-government protests called by Azimio leader Raila Odinga.

Gaucho has been a vocal critic of President William Ruto’s government. He has also been critical of some of the politicians in Odinga’s circle.

In recent months, Gaucho has claimed that he has been attacked and beaten by unknown people. He has also said that he has been targeted for criticism and even accused of receiving bribes from the government.

Despite these challenges, Gaucho remains committed to fighting for the rights of the youth. He urged the youth to unite and to overcome the divisions that have been created by politicians.

He also warned against any attempts to harm himself or Odinga, saying that those who dare to lay a hand on them will face severe consequences.

Gaucho’s call for unity among the youth is timely, as the 2022 general elections approach. The youth are a powerful force in Kenyan politics, and they can make a significant difference in the outcome of the elections.

If the youth can unite and vote together, they can elect leaders who will represent their interests and who will fight for their rights.

Gaucho’s message of hope and unity is a powerful one, and it is one that the youth should heed. By uniting, the youth can make a difference in Kenya and create a better future for themselves and their country.

“They hurled the grenade into the compound before shooting” Kalonzo Musyoka’s personal assistant narrates

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Word has it that NASA deputy principal Kalonzo Musyoka’s home was attacked early this morning by unknown gunmen.

The incident which took place at around 2AM saw the gunmen toss a grenade into Kalonzo Musyoka’s home before firing several shots. Speaking to SDE media group, Kalonzo’s personal assistant Mr Matiki said;

“They made a u-turn meters ahead and stopped opposite the gate; hurled the grenade into the compound before shooting several times,”

This comes a few hours after the NASA leader was sworn in at a controversial  event.

Though the men who attacked the politicians home remain unknown; the police have launched an investigation to get to the bottom of the matter.

Bomb squad deployed at Kalonzo’s home

This being a serious matter, officers from the Bomb squad were earlier deployed at the politicians house to get rid of the grenade.

More details about the incident are set to be released earlier in the day as they also wait for Raila Odinga to speak.

I told you Kalonzo ni kigeugeu! Alfred Mutua mocks Raila Odinga for believing Kalonzo would follow him to Canaan

Posted on by Martin Oduor

Raila Odinga and his Nasarites followers crossed to Canaan as co-principals remained on the other side of river Jordan. And Alfred Mutua can’t stop laughing.

Raila was sworn in as the people’s president at Uhuru Park on Tuesday January 30th 2018. The Nasa leader took oath of office without his deputy who was missing in action.

Kalonzo surfaced later to claim that he couldn’t make it to Uhuru Park because his bodyguards had been withdrawn. Most Kenyans however believe Kalonzo is just being Kalonzo the watermelon.

Trust Kalonzo at your own peril

Machakos governor Alfred Mutua has taken a swipe at the Kamba kingpin. Mutua asserts that Kalonzo has proven multiple times that he can never be trusted.

“The whole swearing in event was wrong and bound to fail because it was unconstitutional & based on the wrong premise. On the other hand, it is now CRYSTAL clear to ALL that Kalonzo Musyoka has over and over again proven he can NEVER be DEPENDED on. Trust him at your own peril,” wrote Alfred Mutua.

 

“Raila alionelea asilale kwake” Kalonzo Musyoka offers detailed explanations why he skipped the swearing-in

Posted on by Martin Oduor

Kalonzo Musyoka has responded to dismiss claims that he betrayed Raila Odinga. The Nasa co-principal said circumstances forced him not to attend the swearing in ceremony.

Kalonzo spoke in an audio that has since been released to the media. In the audio Kalonzo explains that all Nasa principals agreed to attend the swearing-in together.

Raila didn’t sleep at his home

He says that Raila was a bit cautions and he opted not to sleep at his home. The three other principals slept at their homes but they couldn’t make it to Uhuru park in the morning because their security detail was withdrawn.

Kalonzo reveals that he spent the day in a room with Mudavadi and Wetangula because they had no bodyguards to take them to Uhuru Park.

Below is the transcription of Kalonzo’s audio

Well wasikilizaji, najua kwamba kuna hali ya taharuki kwa sababu ya yale yalitokea. Mwenzangu mweshimiwa Raila Odinga alienda akapata kiapo, akapatiwa kiapo Uhuru Park na mimi kama mgombea mwenza sikuweza kufika kwa sababu ambazo sasa zinaeleweka.

Jana usiku tulipokutana mweshimiwa Raila alionelea ni vizuri asilale kwake na mimi nkaona lazima nilale nyumbani tukapanga hivyo. Lakini asubuhi nadhani wengi wameona kwa runinga vile askari ambao ni walinzi hapa walikuja kuchukuliwa mapema zaidi. Wakachukuliwa wale wako hapa Nairobi, wakachukuliwa wale wako uko nyumbani Sekuru, ilikua ni kama tiso.

Na ata wale maaskari kawaida huwa nao kwa gari wakachukuliwa jana wakaambiwa kila mtu akionekana hivi ataachiswa kazi, atafutwa kazi. Kwa hivyo nlikua mimi pekee yangu. Na nkakaa hadi saa tano hivi na ndo waandishi wa habari wakaja na nlipotoka hivi kukawa basi tulikua tumepigiana simu na tukutane na Raila na Wetangula na Mudavadi tuelewane vile tunaenda Uhuru Park lakini hatukufika.

Sisi, mimi Wetangula na Mudavadi kwa sababu hatukua na bodyguards tukajipata kwamba tumezuiliwa kwa chumba kimoja. Na hayo ndo ambayo yalifanyika. Kwa kifupi mimi nko tayari vile ndugu Raila alivyosema wakati unaofaa tumekubaliana tuende tupate kiapo ile wanainchi wajue sisi sio watu wa kurudi nyuma, sisi ni watu ambao wako na msimamo. Kwa sasa naomba tu wambao wanaendesha mambo ya mtendao wawache kutoa matamshi ambao yanaweza kudhuru uhusiano wa wanaNasa kwani sisi principals wanne tuko imara na tuko kitu kimoja.

Uproar! Raila Odinga is sworn in solo as Kalonzo ‘the watermelon’ skips the event

Posted on by Martin Oduor

Nasa supporters are once again calling Kalonzo Musyoka ‘Judas’. The Nasa co-principal was nowhere to be seen as Raila Odinga took oath of office.

Raila was finally sworn-in at around 3:20pm at a packed Uhuru Park. The Nasa leader was expected to arrive at Uhuru Park in company of his deputy Kalonzo Musyoka but he was nowhere to be seen.

Raila was sworn in by TJ Kajwang who is also an advocate of the High Court. He received a certificate after he took oath of office as the people’s president.

Other principals missing

Raila assured his supporters that Kalonzo would be sworn in at a different date. Other Nasa principals Musalia Mudavadi and Moses Wetangula also didn’t attend the swearing-in.

Kenyans on Twitter have still expressed their anger with Kalonzo even after Raila explained that he will be sworn in at a different date.
