Mathira MP Rigathi Gachagua has claimed that Azimio La Umoja is planning to pick President Uhuru Kenyatta's brother, Mohoho Kenyatta to be Raila Odinga's deputy in the August 9 General Elections.
Speaking in Kajiado County, the vocal MP said the move to bring Muhoho into politics is in a bid to retain the Kenyatta family in power.
Gachagua stated that rogue individuals within the government want specific families to rule the nation.
"Tunaambiwa ya kwamba familia tatu pekee yake ndio inafaa kutawala Kenya, familia ya Jaramogi, Kenyatta na Moi. Kuna wale wametuambia ati wanataka rais Uhuru Kenyatta ateua ndugu yake Muhoho Kenyatta akue naibu wa Raila Odinga
"Tungetaka kuambia hawa ya kwamba mababa na mama zao wanajulikana lakini wanaopiga kura waliona yule ambae mama na baba zao hawajulikani," Gachagua said.

This comes a week after Kakamega Senator Cleophas Malala said Uhuru wants Raila to ascend to power so that he could deputise him and remain in power.
Malala urged the Head of State to retire post-August 9 General Elections and pave way for young leaders to take over power.
"Mmeona rais Uhuru Kenyatta anaanza kufikiria ati kwamba aeke Raila akue president alafu yeye akuje akue deputy wa Raila tena. Nyinyi mnaeza ruhusu hiyo maneno kweli? Ati Raila president, Uhuru deputy president
"We want to tell Uhuru, umebaki na miezi mbili; pack your belongings and go to Gatundu. Kama lazima mtuletee kiongozi kutoka Mt Kenya tuko na kina Ndindi Nyoro na vijana ambao pia wanaeza kua marais," Malala said amid cheers from the crowd.
