Enticing Posts Ruto Offered Sonko To Join Kenya Kwanza Alliance And Dump Azimio
Sonko revealed that the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) put up an appealing offer that ultimately led to him changing sides and siding with Kenya Kwanza instead of Azimio.
The politician listed the following positions in his agreement with DP Ruto’s memorandum of understanding:
One CS position in the National Government
Three PS positions in the National Government
Four ambassadors
Three CECs in the Mombasa county government
Three chief officers in the Mombasa county government
Two CEC positions in the Nairobi county government
Three chief officers in the Mombasa county government
“With your blessings, I would want to get into this agreement with UDA, so that I can be assured of jobs and opportunities for my Mombasa and Nairobi people,” Sonko stated.
Sonko revealed that he was deciding between accepting one of the seven alluring positions already on the table in the event that the UDA won the elections and staying in Azimio only minutes before he signed the agreement with Ruto.
Sonko ultimately chose the agreement that will put him in line for at least one lucrative position should William Ruto form the next administration as evidenced by his decision to join Kenya Kwanza.
“Time is not on our side and I have had to sit down as a leader, think about what would be best for my people and I have come to the realisation that I should work with a government that shares the same vision for my people as I and one that benefits them,” Sonko posted online.
“If you’re with me na mnipe baraka zenu then I will be signing this agreement in the next 2 hours. Niende nisiende?” he added, moments before he crossed over to Kenya Kwanza.
William Ruto, the presidential candidate for Kenya Kwanza, met him at his Karen home.
Before the deputy president revealed Sonko’s intention to join Kenya Kwanza, he was walled up in a private meeting with Ruto.
The happy DP Ruto posted pictures of their encounter, letting everyone know that the former Nairobi has a new home.
It is unknown if Sonko has also left the Wiper Party, where he was intending to run for office and is a life member.
