Why are they panicking? - Kalonzo Musyoka. 

Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka has dismissed reports that he has joined President William Ruto's government.  

Social media was awash on Wednesday, March 12, with videos and reports that the Wiper leader had met and held talks with President Ruto at State House.  

A video doing rounds on social media showed the former Vice President meeting Ruto at State House in the company of Energy CS Opiyo Wandayi and Nyamira Senator Okongo Omogeni.  

However, Kalonzo flagged the video and disclosed that the events happened in March 2024, adding that it was meant to mislead the public and create a false narrative about his political stance. 

"Why are they panicking? The people's loyal coalition will never be party to the biggest betrayal of Kenyans for political expediency and temporary comfort. #RutoMustGo," he wrote on X.

Nairobileo.co.ke has established that Kalonzo was at State House on March 8, 2024, to present the National Dialogue Committee (NADCO) report to Ruto. 

Speaking during the event, Ruto commended the committee's efforts, expressing optimism that the recommendations would address critical constitutional concerns.  

"I had no doubt in my mind, having travelled this journey as a politician, that this was a doable assignment.

"We have credentials, as a country, that we are believers in democracy and that we can always use democratic means to resolve whatever issues that may arise," he said.

Similarly, Azimio leader Raila Odinga received the NADCO report at his Capitol Hill office.
