Tuesday December 3, 2019 - Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen
has lauded President Uhuru Kenyatta for making it clear that he has no
political agreement with ODM leader, Raila Odinga.
Speaking during a
meeting with Mt Kenya politicians at Sagana State Lodge last month, Uhuru
also noted that he has not disowned his 2013 and 2017 promise to back his Deputy, William Ruto's 2022 presidential bid.
Murkomen noted that by
setting the record straight, Uhuru will avoid a situation where supporters of
both sides get false thoughts of a possible alliance or a looming political
union.
"There are those
who say Uhuru has promised former Prime Minister support in 2022.”
“It’s good that he has
openly said they have no plans together (Kuna wale walikuwa wanasema Uhuru
amepromise former Prime Minister support 2022, ni vyema amesema openly
hajapanga chochote na yeye)," he said on Monday.
He stated that it would
be political treachery for Raila and his allies to be kept waiting for a backing.
"We don't want the
former Prime Minister to await the backing, only for the President to support
another person.”
“This is the type of
politics we don't want (Hatutaki former Prime Minister angojee ila ikuje iwe
eti rais anaunga mtu mwingine. Hii ndio sisaa hatutaki)," he added.
Both Raila and Uhuru
have declared that their union after their 2018 truce is solely to spearhead
unity among Kenyans.
