Bungoma Senator Moses Wetangula has explained why he is defending his seat despite being promised 30% of the Government if Kenya Kwanza wins the August polls.
Addressing the press on Sunday, May 29 after being cleared by IEBC to defend his seat, Wetangula stated that he was not looking for personal glory.
The Bungoma senator maintained that ANC and Ford Kenya would get 6 out of the 22 ministers.
"I am not looking for personal gain, aggrandizement, or glory. Zile 30% tumegawana kwa serikali ya Kenya Kwanza, wale mawaziri chama chetu kitapata out of 22 ministers, ANC na Ford Kenya tuko na mawaziri sita," he stated.

According to the Kenya Kwanza coalition agreement, Wetangula and ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi were promised a 30% share of William Ruto's government, that is appointments in all ministries and government parastatals.
The post of the National Assembly Speaker was also reserved for Wetangula.
The two Western Kenya leaders are in return, required to get Ruto 70% of the votes from the five counties of Western Kenya.
After being criticized for the votes the two leaders are expected to deliver, Mudavadi said that they would deliver 90% adding that 70% was too little.
