Lawyer and politician Paul Muite has new friends. They are businessman-turned-politician Jimi Wanjigi, Deputy President William Ruto, and MPs Rigathi Gachagua and Oscar Sudi.

The five met at Bomas of Kenya on Monday, March 21, and said they shared a vision.  “We will work together with Safina (Muite’s party) into the future because we have the same vision”, said the DP at the function to which Muite happily replied: “Safina is aligned economically and socially with UDA because the vision UDA has for this country is identical to that of Safina.”
