Wiper party is set to hold a crisis meeting on Tuesday to deliberate on the future of Kalonzo Musyoka in the National Super Alliance (Nasa).
Makueni Senator Mutula Kilonzo Jr, who doubles up as Wiper Vice Chairman, said among agenda to be discussed in the meeting will be the ‘swearing-in’ of opposition leader Raila Odinga and ramifications of Kalonzo's absence at the ceremony.
Mutula said the party will issue an official statement after the meeting.
“We have a meeting on Tuesday. I am afraid you will have to wait for the leadership to issue a statement,” he said.
The meeting comes days after Kalonzo skipped the swearing in, and although he explained the reason, Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leaders saw it as a betrayal to the coalition.
ODM chairman John Mbadi in a statement appeared to brand Kalonzo as a coward.
“There is no cure for a coward. A coward is just a coward, and those who were brave enough made it to Uhuru Park on Tuesday,” Mbadi stated.
Also missing in the inauguration ceremony were Nasa principals Moses Wetang'ula and Musalia Mudavadi.
Kalonzo alleged that, together with Wetang'ula and Musalia, they had been placed under house arrest by police during the ceremony.
Speaking during an interview with a local FM station on Thursday, Wiper Chairman Kivutha Kibwana said ODM organized the swearing in without involving other Nasa affiliate parties.
“ODM has not been fair. Even our representatives in the plans were kept in the dark most of the time. We are part of the NASA coalition but most of the time we were not briefed on meetings and progress.”
“Yes, there are issues that need to be looked into but I want to assume that the Kamba nation and NASA are intact. All we ask for is respect from our other partner (ODM),” he added.

Yeah @ Mbingu for seeing things as they are and should be. But again how do you expect to have a REVoLuTioN when your own house is burning? SMH.
Good question. We know a house divided cannot stand. Mbingu is so full of double speak kama mNasa tu...I say, make up yo mind..mmh
@mbingu did you want to see Kalonzo take part in that swearing circus presided over by conman miguna miguna? Kalonzo is above that. Kalonzo ni mundu mwaike, eka utumanu usu waku.
Kalonzo kanabeba kitunguu kwa mfuko ndio kaweze kulia kwa press conference .. this boy is such a coward ... raila was teargassed during the IEBC demos while kalonzo hid in the car ... kamutu bure kabisa.
The first casualties of illegal swearing are NASA's own principals: Watermelon,Muda and Weta the irredeemable lot. Watch the show for more self made casualties.
Me thinks they will only pay some, but win big for not showing at the ceremony...then support JP for 2022....and as usual, twill be a household win; it's always been, who thought they cared about the masses nway.
If some of you want kalonzo come get him and bring him to central, after all you have been paying his bills. shit.
Time for son to be wiser than dad....I hope Jnr is a better reader of the times.
Dear AKAMBA, the SONS and DAUGHTERS of NYUNGA WA MUAMBA and SYONINDI and SYOKIMAU, as you meet as WIPER members, you understand this is HIGH time you must show up be counted and prove your TENACITY. WE as AKAMBA people have fooled around with kalonzo musyoka for far too long, disappointment time and again. I say send kalonzo to EXILE at his ikulu village and reconstitute the politic body organ and RENAME it going forward.ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
