Chama Cha Mashinani party leader, former Bomet Governor Isaac Ruto, has denied claims that he has been offered a Cabinet position by President Uhuru Kenyatta to support his house cleaning in Jubilee.
Dr Ruto, a critic of Deputy President William Ruto, said his party will remain intact after signing an upcoming memorandum of cooperation with the ruling Jubilee Party.
Excerpts:
Q: What informed the move by CCM which you lead, to go into a post-election coalition with President Uhuru Kenyatta’s Jubilee Party?
You have been accused as having a bone to grind with Deputy President William Ruto, especially in your Rift Valley backyard, and that is what is informing CCM’s coalition with Jubilee at a time the DP is under siege from the party’s leadership.
By the way, there was a time we discussed CCM and Jubilee Party relations with the deputy president, but he insisted that we fold our party and join theirs.
