Days after threatening to frustrate government’s agenda in both the National Assembly and the Senate, Deputy President William Ruto allies have made a U-turn and are now promising to support President Uhuru Kenyatta until he finishes his term.
Speaking in Eldoret, Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi and his Bahati counterpart Kimani Ngunjiri vowed that the Jubilee Party Tangatanga faction will not dare do things which will impact negatively on the lives of Kenyans in terms of legislation.
“People have been asking if we will support any government’s development agenda brought to Parliament. In fact, we will not frustrate anything including the budget process. The ‘corona’ in Jubilee Party has nothing to do with those who elected us,” said the Bahati MP.
POLITICAL RIVALS
The leaders allied to the DP maintained that despite last Monday’s State House meeting which resulted into the removal of Elgeyo-Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen and his Nakuru counterpart Susan Kihika from their Senate leadership positions, they will not allow Jubilee Party to be divided to the advantage of their political rivals.
“Our political opponents are praying that our party breaks up. We are in Jubilee to stay and we will support the President in all ways until he finishes his term,” said Mr Sudi.
