United Democratic Alliance (UDA) chairman Johnson Muthama has called out Raila Odinga-led Azimio One Kenya coalition party over what he termed as mistreating Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka.
Speaking at a campaign rally in Machakos County on Thursday, Muthama defended Kalonzo saying that he deserved respect.
The former Machakos senator said that the former Vice President was being looked down upon after showing his intentions of being the former Prime Minister’s running mate.
“Kalonzo amekuja kwenu aungane na nyinyi, mpatie heshima. Mjue Kalonzo sio maabusu ya mtu. Ana haki yake. Alikuwa makamu wa rais na safari hii hata kama hamumpatii nafasi wacheni kumdharau,” Muthama stated.

Muthama insisted that he would do all he could to get into Azimio and bring Kalonzo into the Kenya Kwanza Alliance.
“Mimi naweza badilika nikapitia kwa dirisha nikaingia ndani ya hiyo meza mnafanyia masengenyo vile mtaharibu Kalonzo nimuweke kwa mabega yangu nimbebe niondoke nay eye hadi ndani ya UDA,” he stated.
His remarks come after Azimio on Thursday agreed to form an advisory panel that will help in the identification of Raila’s running mate.
