BIG BLOW TO FORMER PRIME MINISTER RAILA AMOLLO ODINGA.

Former Cabinet Minister Musa Sirma, a longtime supporter of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, on Monday, August 30, switched political loyalty to Deputy President William Ruto. 

Sirma has been supporting Raila’s ambition for the presidency and campaigning for the ODM leader in the Rift Valley Region.

He had previously joined the Kenya African National Union (KANU) party led by Gideon Moi but shortly after fell out with the Baringo senator.

He has previously served as the Minister for East African and Regional Cooperation, and was a member of parliament for Eldama Ravine in Baringo County for one term. Sirma is believed to be playing safe to avoid the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) thunami, sweeping across the Rift Valley and other parts of the country.

In 2007, Sirma led a relatively big number of MPS from the Kalenjin community into endorsing Ruto’s presidency through the ODM party ticket before the party decided on Raila.

“Today morning, I had a meeting with Deputy President William Samoei Ruto at his Karen residence. We discussed matters of national unity and current affairs in the political arena.#Team111We are strong,” the veteran politician stated. 

“Growing day by day. Musa Sirma is a welcome addition to our team,” Boni Khalwale stated, while welcoming the former MP.
