Working with President Ruto: Kalonzo blows hot and cold

 Wiper sends governors to
Ruto, blocks party MPs

By Daniel Kituku


Wiper leader is allowing  his party Governors to join hands and work with Ruto Administration to develop Ukambani. 
Mr Musyoka and Mr. Kilonzo Jr 


Speaking in Mbooni during the burial of the Late Paul Wambua , a Nairobi based businessman, the Wiper  supremo said he has given Makueni Governor Mutula Kilonzo Jnr,  Machakos Wavinya Ndeti and Kitui Governor Julius Makau Malombe a greenlight  to work with the current government. 
The remarks come shortly after Mutula announced he would boycott rallies that Azimio leader Raila Odinga, Martha Karua and Kalonzo himself  have called to reject the election of President Ruto.

Kalonzo warned the Governors not to forget their party Wiper as they work with the government. The meaning of this call 'not to forget' his party is open to wide interpretation and could be a call to support Wiper with resources coming from government. It could also mean that he is reminding them to keep their loyalty to his party.
In the same breath, Kalonzo issued a stern warning to  Ukambani Mps from joining Ruto administration. Mavoko MP Mr Patrick Makau has already signaled his readiness to support the Kenya Kwanza administration. 
He urged them to keep the Azimio One Kenya Alliance motto of pushing the government to deliver to Kenyans. 
Kalonzo defended the Raila Rallies citing harsh economic times and injustices in the Country. 
"People are crying for Justice , we have  no food. "said Kalonzo .
Kalonzo seems not to read from the same script with Ukambani Governors as  his caution comes a week after Makueni Governor Mutula Kilonzo Jnr vowed never to attend the Azimio Rallies/ Demonstrations  until  Kambaland is equally developed like the Luo Nyanza region .
His remarks appear to be a signal that he is unwilling to open a fight with governors as was the case in the last election cycle when he was at loggerheads with former governors Kaluki Ngilu, Kivutha Kibwana and Alfred Mutua.
