REVEALED: What Kalonzo’s team was upto minutes before swearing in


As late as an hour to the Uhuru Park swearing in ceremony, the Wiper Party leadership was upbeat on joining Nasa supporters for the big day.

Wiper party Executive Director Dr Jared Siso shared photos of the party leadership in a consultation meeting at Serena Hotel.

The photos that were shared in a popular Ukambani Politics whatsapp group featured Nairobi Wiper party chairman Roy Kivusyu, Makueni County Assembly Speaker Douglas Mbilu, Mwingi North MP Paul Nzengu, Mwingi West’s Charles Nguna, Kilome’s Thaddeus Nzambia and Mwingi Central MP Gedion Mulyungi.

Dr Siso wrote in the caption, “WDMK leaders in consultation and readying to walk over to Uhuru Park.”

SHOWED UP ALONE

His posts were shared at 1pm hours before Raila Odinga showed up alone explaining that Kalonzo would be sworn in later.

Dr Siso later went mute during the swearing in when members of the WhatsApp group questioned where the party leadership was.

Some members went on to call the party leader names prompting the admin to remove them from the WhatsApp group amid protests that not even removing them from the group would bar them from seeking for an explanation from the party leadership represented in the group.

Odinga had explained to supporters at Uhuru Park, “Kalonzo Musyoka is not here with us. But he is together with us. He will be sworn in later. You will hear more from us.”

During Kalonzo’s media briefing moments after he had left his Karen home he said that they were still in consultations.
