Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka raised eyebrows when he hinted at a possible political merger between Wiper Party and KANU at a fundraiser in Kitui County on Sunday.
Speaking at the event in Kitui Muthale parish, with Baringo Senator, Gideon Moi in attendance, he stated that he was ready to work with Gideon and bring a positive change to Kenya as requested by former President Daniel Moi.
“When I visited Mzee Moi accompanied by Senator Wambua and my son Kennedy, Mzee Moi told me to work with Senator Moi and President Uhuru Kenyatta. Those were precisely Mzee’s words, the only thing he didn’t tell us is how to do it,” stated Kalonzo.
With the current political heat rising with prospects on the 2022 succession race, these could be seen as a tactical move to foretell a possible Wiper-KANU alliance.
Gideon took the cue from Kalonzo's speech and delved further into the subject confirming that he had sought the Wiper Party leader's permission to work with his party.
He then sidelined the prospects briefly to speak on corruption.
"For now, let us work and come closer, it is time to work for the people to judge us (them) by our deeds as politics would follow by 'God's grace," the lawmaker asserted asking Kenyans to consider corruption "as enemy number one".
Kitui County Senator, Enock Wambua, added weight to Kalonzo’s sentiments, stating that it was time for KANU to work together with Wiper because the two are visionary leaders.
“The future of this country looks like this, these are humble leaders who have dignity and should be given a chance to lead this country, and when you see Kalonzo and Senator Gideon seated together just know that plans are in place,” affirmed Wambua.
The fundraiser was also attended by other political leaders who include Samburu West MP Naisula Lesuuda, Kitui West MP Edith Nyenze, KFCB CEO Ezekiel Mutua among other leaders.
