Murang’a Senator Joe Nyutu, a member of the United Democratic Alliance(UDA), on Thursday alleged that the good reception President William Ruto received in Nyanza during his tour was a political script meant to humiliate Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.....CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL ARTICLE>>>
Nyutu, an ally of the deputy president, revealed that as a result, they were closely studying the latest political developments in the government after the Head of State included some members of the opposition into the Cabinet, leading to the birth of the broad based government.
‘’As people from Mount Kenya, we are studying the happenings in the political landscape and one thing that was clear is that there was a script to humiliate the Deputy President,’’ Nyutu stated.
The senator decried a system of favoritism where their ODM counterparts are now favored in government than them. ‘’This is like a polygamous marriage where now the new wife is more favoured than the first wife,” he added.
The lawmaker further maintained that the DP’s wing was closely monitoring the developments to see whether there will be isolation of the Mt Kenya region from being given the priority and treatment they enjoyed in government before.
The Senator revisited a recent statement where he claimed that Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party Chairperson Gladys Wanga and Minority Leader in the National Assembly Junet Mohammed directed humiliation at the DP.
‘’If you listened to the two saying they had some small mountains to show the deputy president, that was a direct humiliation at him during the tour,’’ Nyutu added.
He, however, indicated that Ruto did consult them on the need to include the opposition in the government, appearing to dismiss recent decisions among the leaders from the region on whether the President acted on his decision upon consultation.
‘’He did consult with us. Of course we understand that he needed to calm the political situation in the country,’’ the Senator indicated.
The Senator’s pronouncements suggested the deep simmering political disunity within the ruling party UDA, with two factions likely playing out, one allied to Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and the other to President William Ruto….CLICK HERE FOR MORE ARTICLE>>>
