National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula throws some serious shade at Kalonzo Musyoka over his ‘cousin’ alliance with former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a fiery speech during a women’s empowerment event in Kitui Central, Wetang’ula didn’t hold back as he warned Kalonzo against cozying up to Gachagua and falling into the trap of divisive political tactics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He urged Kalonzo to steer clear of letting Kenya Kwanza’s adversaries dictate his political affiliations, emphasizing the importance of choosing allies wisely in the cutthroat world of politics.Without mincing words, Wetang’ula called out Gachagua for his recent questionable remarks and painted him as a man driven by a spirit of bad temper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adding fuel to the fire, Wetang’ula reminded Kalonzo of the Wiper Party’s legacy in government and advised him to think twice before aligning himself with individuals who may not have his best interests at heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s clear that the Speaker isn’t here for any political games or alliances that could potentially harm the unity of the nation.And let’s not forget the ‘cousin’ controversy stirred up by Gachagua, with both Wetang’ula and President William Ruto’s aide Farouk Kibet calling out the former DP for his divisive comments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a country as diverse as Kenya, there’s simply no room for ethnic politics, and it’s crucial to avoid any rhetoric that could sow seeds of discord among different communities.Despite Kalonzo’s newfound alliance and his fervent support for President Ruto’s ouster in 2027, the lack of a clear rival candidate and the alliance’s untested waters leave many questions unanswered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will this ‘Wantam’ alliance stand the test of time, or will it crumble before the next polls?One thing’s for sure \u2013 the political landscape in Kenya is heating up and with less than three years until the next elections, it’s anyone’s game. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
