Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka has rejected an offer to join President William Ruto's government.

Kalonzo, an Azimio la Umoja coalition principal, said they have permitted their leader Raila Odinga to pursue his ambition at the African Union, while he assumes the position of the opposition leader in the country.

"As the Azimio coalition, we have agreed to let our party leader Raila Odinga go and vie for positions at the AU. I will now take over his role of being the opposition leader in Kenya," said Kalonzo who spoke at Kihome village in Othaya, Nyeri on Friday.

Kalonzo said he cannot join a government that has already failed to deliver its promises to the people.
