Narc Kenya Party leader Martha Karua has clarified her position in regards to joining Deputy President William Ruto's led faction, Kenya Kwanza, or former Prime Minister Raila Odinga's, Azimio la Umoja.
The former Justice Minister argued that she was buying time to analyse which of the two sides would match her ideologies. She insisted that she had not joined any of the two political factions.
Karua argued that the two sides had corrupt leaders who had selfish interests rather than prioritising service delivery.
"I have been asked about my thoughts on the presidential race. In those two teams, there is no team that lacks corruption.
"All I am waiting for is it to look keenly at which team will have more people that are good who I can work with to safeguard our resources from being stolen," she stated.
The Kirinyaga gubernatorial aspirant added that she would work with those who are not corrupt in the coalition she will choose to bring change in the country.
"We will cast our vote for the presidency but only to the team that will be able to rescue our country," she insisted.
Karua was unavailable when her One Kenya Alliance signed a pact with Raila's Azimio La Umoja movement. She also refuted speculations that she was aligning herself with Kenya Kwanza after Tharaka Nithi Senator Kithure Kindiki stated they had expected her to attend the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) National Delegates Conference (NDC) which took place on March 15.
However, Karua immediately dismissed the reports terming them as fake. She insisted that would not attend Ruto's endorsement event and ultimately did not show up.
The former Gichungu Member of Parliament insisted that she was focused on her gubernatorial bid and unseating incumbent Kirinyaga Governor, Anne Waiguru.
