Wednesday, January 17, 2024 - Wiper Leader Kalonzo Musyoka now plans on suing Defence Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale over what he termed as misrepresentation of facts in the latter's book, For The Record.
Speaking during an interview,
Kalonzo claimed that Duale's account of a visit by former President Uhuru
Kenyatta and his successor, William Ruto, to his house, was not factual.
He maintained that he had never
told the duo (Uhuru and Ruto) that they would be jailed at the Hague as claimed
by Duale.
Kalonzo wondered why the CS
could attribute the sentiments to him yet he was not present at the
meeting.
According to Kalonzo, the
meeting at his house was planned by politician Jimi Wanjigi as they sought
to broker a deal and lineup ahead of the 2013 elections.
"Out of that, I have heard stories saying that I said that when the two of them (Uhuru and Ruto) go to jail at the Hague, then I will take over. Can you imagine?
"What Vice President or human being would tell a suffering duo that when you go to jail, I will come and help you?
"That is why I am suing Duale.”
"He has written a book on that chapter and he was not there.
"It is a very interesting suit against Duale because he wrote things he does not know.
"Therefore, I recommend Kenyans to
read my book," he stated.
Duale has previously referred to the meeting at Kalonzo's home.
According to the CS, Kalonzo was to be the
presidential candidate with Uhuru as his running mate.
Ruto was to be the majority leader with each taking 33 per cent of government.
However, according to both
Duale and Ruto's accounts, Kalonzo's alleged remarks on the duo being
jailed made the deal fall apart.
