Kalonzo's 'Advice' to President Kenyatta
Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has told President Uhuru what he would have done had he been in his shoes.
Speaking at the home of the late Kitui West MP Francis Nyenze on Thursday, Kalonzo said President Kenyatta should ask them to allow him lead the country for two years, then plan for a fresh presidential election.
"If I were Uhuru I would say, you Kalonzo and Raila allow me to be in power for two years then we go to the ballot. We can agree on that. This will allow for electoral reforms to avoid vote rigging," Kalonzo said.
“(President Kenyatta), you’ve been given instruments of power but there are serious legitimacy, legal and constitutional issues … I call this power capture by the person given the instruments of power,” he added.
The National Super Alliance (NASA) co-principal further warned the president that Raila and him will be sworn-in, if he refuses to enter into dialogue with the opposition. Kalonzo added that Kenya will have parallel governments if Jubilee fails to commit to talks that will focus on ending electoral fraud.
"I am telling my brother Uhuru Kenyatta if he abdicates the responsibility of uniting this nation, he should not blame Raila and Kalonzo when we say there will be a swearing in ceremony," He said.
"If they don’t want talks on how to ensure the electoral malpractices are finished then they can be sure Raila and Kalonzo will be sworn in,” the Wiper leader added.
