A section of Azimio leaders have decried what they termed as the utmost betrayal of Kenyans by a faction of their coalition partner and failure to stay true to the course.

Amid the move to embrace a broad-based Government, the team, led by Kalonzo Musyoka insisted that all is not well in the country, which calls for a united front to deal with issues bedevilling it.

Kalonzo(Wiper), Democratic Action Party of Kenya (DAP-K) leader Eugene Wamalwa and Jubilee Secretary General, Jeremiah Kioni among other leaders have taken a stand that it is time to remain firm, without any fear to deliver for the ailing country and to put their house in order. Saying that Azimio leaders who joined Cabinet have now sworn their allegiance to President William Ruto, Kalonzo affirmed that what is left of the coalition will continue fighting for the wellbeing of Kenyans.

“The country is ailing; we cannot pretend that all is well. Those who joined government now have responsibilities, they have sworn allegiance to the President and Kenyans cannot be deceived,” Kalonzo affirmed.
