KALONZO FINALLY EXPLAINS WHY HE SKIPPED RAILA’S SWEARING IN CEREMONY

Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka (pictured) has broken his silence about his unexplained absence in the mock swearing in of ODM leader Raila Odinga as ‘the people’s president’ after the disputed 2017 general election.

Addressing the faithful during a Sunday service at AIC Kyemutheke in Machakos, Kalonzo said he deliberately stayed away from Raila’s swearing-in in the interest the country’s peace and to safeguard his future in politics.

“I don’t believe in these political debts. I did what I did to make this country better. As a senior counsel, how would I have participated in a mock, illegal and unconstitutional oath? I would have disqualified myself,” said Kalonzo.

Kalonzo went on to reveal that he made it clear to Raila that he (Kalonzo) will not participate in the oath and instead recommended that he (Raila) opens dialogue with President Uhuru Kenyatta to explore modalities of ending the political turmoil that was sweeping the country at that time.

Kalonzo warned Raila to stop using his political footsoldiers to fight him.

“If he continues, we’ll expose him. I am telling Kenyans that I don’t need anybody’s endorsement. I only need God to endorse me,” he said.

Earlier, Kalonzo attended a church service at AIC Kasinga in Tala, Matungulu constituency where he campaigned for his party’s senatorial candidate Agnes Kavindu.
