Rift Rebel: Kirwa’s Big Azimio Gamble

Written By Henry Kimoli  📝

Kipruto Arap Kirwa. The Moi tormentor in chief who become the perfect rebel in North Rift.

Kirwa, a Nandi popularised Cherangany Constituency over his independent political mind.

An alumni of Mang’u High School and beneficiary of the YK 92 largesse, Kirwa was appointed Agriculture Minister by President Mwai Kibaki in 2002.

Kirwa was rejected by voters in 2007. And disappeared politically. Until he was resurrected by the hustler movement in Wiper

With Gideon Moi sturrering and lacking political passion, Azimio needed a face in Kalenjin nation.

Kirwa is the perfect deal for this over his name recogtion  .

Kirwa has a bright political past that he has officially sold to Azimio and Raila.

With Kalenjin nation sold out to the wheelbarrow and Ruto, Kirwa presence in Azimio offers the coalition a semblance of presence in Rift Valley.

Franklin Bett was for long the Raila and ODM hatchet man among the Kalenjin. But like other Moi orphans, DP Ruto has sorted him.

Azimio has raided the Kenya Kwanza stable and was hoping to complete the equation by signing Johnstone Muthama.
