Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro has blamed the handshake for the
current wrangles in Jubilee Party.
While speaking to a vernacular station on Tuesday, the
lawmaker argued that ever since the handshake, some things have stopped
functioning properly.
He further pledged his allegiance to DP William Ruto, saying
he will not be part of a plan to ‘swallow’ Jubilee.
"The genesis
of these problems is the handshake. There are people you greet and immediately
you lose your balance and start feeling dizzy. From the moment Uhuru greeted
Raila, he has not been the same."
"My position
is that I will never be part of Kanu attempting to swallow Jubilee. Kanu has
been a major pain to the people of Kiharu and I will never lead my people
there. I will stick with Ruto to the end," he said.
On the ouster of Senator Kipchumba Murkomen and Susan
Kihika, Nyoro opined that the move was aimed at instilling fear and forcing
Ruto’s allies to abandon him.
"The changes
made in the Senate and in other senior government offices have one target - to
send a message to Ruto's allies that whatever you have got we will take it
away.
“It was meant to
instill fear and force Ruto's people to abandon him," he said.
Earlier, lawyer Donald Kipkorir told the DP Ruto camp that
they should lie low since it is almost impossible to beat ‘the system.’
Kipkorir advised the DP’s camp to walk away before time runs
out.
“Lie Low…keep your mouths shut…You can’t win against the
System. People vote, the System Count…Your multiple litigations will come to
nothing.
“When placing bets, know the house always wins. Jubilee Marriage is long DEAD [sic]. Walk away when you still can,” said Kipkorir.
