Wiper Party Leader Kalonzo Musyoka has addressed reports that he has been offered an Attorney General position in the cabinet of President William Ruto.
Speaking during a presser, Musyoka has said that he has no intention of joining or working with the president.
Additionally, Kalonzo said that he has not received any invitation from the head of state to that effect.
“I have not received any offer to become an Attorney General. The simple truth is that I am not interested. The Azimio coalition has not received any notice to show that ODM is pulling out. In fact, people are coming out in heaps,” said Musyoka.
At the same time, Jubilee Secretary General Jeremiah Kioni has said that the coalition does not support any members who agreed to take up government positions.
Azimio has maintained that it is the greatest form of betrayal to the people of Kenya.
“We neither support nor take part in the proposed broad-based government of national unity. We believe it is the greatest betrayal of Kenyans and especially gen Zs and millennials,” he said.

Earlier, Kisumu senator Tom Ojienda stated that the Attorney general position, which still remains vacant, would be given to a leader aligned with the Azimio coalition.
“There are slots for East African and Attorney General positions that have not been filled. I bet and you can take this to the bank that one of the Azimio parties will fill one of these positions or both,” he stated.
Additionally, Orange Democratic Movement Secretary General Edwin Sifuna that the nomination of four ODM members to the cabinet was done without the party’s endorsement.

Also, he explained that the nominees had until the vetting day to give up any leadership positions they had in the party.
“The position that we gave in the statement that I issued two days ago is that they are going to join government in their individual capacities, and we don’t begrudge them but for you to say that ODM has joined government, you have to show me a document,
“I expect that by the end of the day before they go for vetting, we will receive the resignation of these people from their positions in the party because they can’t go into the cabinet as members of a party,” Sifuna said.” Sifuna said.
