Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen has revealed why Narc Kenya leader Martha Karua did not join the Kenya Kwanza Alliance.
Speaking to NTV on Tuesday Night, Murkomen said the many people who joined the Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Alliance did so because they were deceived with plum positions.
According to Murkomen, the DP was clear with whoever wanted to work with him on the matter of running mate.
He says the DP did not promise anyone a big thing if he joins Azimio.

"The DP was very clear with whoever wanted to jin Kenya Kwanza regarding the issue of positions. He did not cheat anyone that he will give him or her big post. He told them, let us form the government the rest of the things will fall in place," he said.
"The reason why Martha Karua could not join Kenya Kwanza Alliance is that the DP was not willing to guarantee him that he will be a running mate if she Joins Kenya Kwanza."
Karua is one of the Mt Kenya leaders who are being billed as a potential running mate of the ODM leader Raila Odinga.
The former Prime Minister is still hunting for a running mate, a matter that is proving divisive in the coalition.
Leaders allied to Wiper Leader Kalonzo Musyoka have said without him on the ballot, they will not support Raila's presidency.
The panel formed to vet presidential running mates has also received backlash with Kalonzo saying he would not present himself for vetting.
Kalonzo has been a vice president and has deputized Raila in the last two consecutive elections.
