KALONZO FINALLY BREAKS SILENCE AHEAD OF 30TH MAY DEADLINE

Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka on Thursday, May 19, took a break from the political scene to spend time in a farm.

Taking it to his official Twitter account, the former Vice President shared photos of himself at a farm in an undisclosed location.

Kalonzo captioned the photos: “It’s been awhile; time for reflection.”

In some of the photos, the Wiper boss was seen carrying a huge bunch of cabbage, looking after chickens and a herd of cattle.

According to a section of netizens, the former vice president was looking for attention even as the political scene was busy ahead of the August polls.

They told the Wiper boss to be serious with his ambitions because elections were three months away, with others alleging that they knew he was going back to the Azimio coalition party.

A day ago, reports emerged that Wiper leader Steven Kalonzo Musyoka had being cornered by president Uhuru Kenyatta and the opposition leader Raila Amollo Odinga with fresh demands ahead of August polls.

According to a local daily, Raila and Kalonzo were involved in serious talks that could see them reunite by May 30th this month.

The Star reported that despite Kalonzo declaring his presidential bid and unveiling his runningmate on Monday, he is likely to shelve his ambitions and support the Azimio presidential candidate ahead of the August general elections.

Previously, Raila while naming his runningmate named Musyoka as the chief cabinet secretary if Azimio forms the next government but the Wiper boss is said to be considering the post with a number of conditions on the table.

One of the conditions is that the post of the chief cabinet secretary has to be included in the Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Alliance coalition agreement and deposited with the registrar of political parties so that he is guaranteed of the same.

The former vice president in the Kibaki administration is also said to be keen on not repeating previous mistakes where they agreed with words of mouth only for such agreements to be rubbished by the other party.

On his side, Makueni senator Mutula Kilonzo Junior hinted that the Orange Democratic Movement leader and the Wiper boss are still negotiating and they may come to a consensus by the end of this month.
