Makueni Senator Mutula Kilonzo Jr. says Wiper Party chief Kalonzo Musyoka needs to be picked as Azimio-One Kenya’s presidential walking mate, a failure to which the coalition will be in trouble.
Downplaying the outfit’s ongoing process of reviewing an appropriate candidate to deputize flag-bearer, Raila Odinga, in his August presidential bid, Senator Mutula stated Kalonzo is definitely the best suit for the role.
“Kalonzo cannot do the examination whilst he is the marking scheme,” stated the senator while talking in Wote, Makueni County during the party’s tour of the region.
“We have said Kalonzo won’t attend the interview on Monday if the chance is given to any other person, kitaumana,” he added.
According to Mutula, the Azimio Running-mate Selection Panel is planning to compromise Kalonzo’s destiny so that he ends up as Speaker in an Odinga administration, a post he says be reserved for former Gatanga MP Peter Kenneth instead.
“No vetting was done for Kalonzo to be vice president, they want Kalonzo to be the speaker but that should be given to Peter Kenneth. No kalonzo no Raila!”
Kalonzo Musyoka has been shortlisted alongside 20 applicants including Sabina Chege (Jubilee Party), Martha Karua (NARC Kenya), Charity Ngilu (NARC), Peter Kenneth (Jubilee Party), Gideon Moi (KANU), Ali Hassan Joho (ODM), and Stephen Kipkiyeny Torus (National Liberal Party).
