Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has dismissed claims that President William Ruto approached him to join the Kenya Kwanza government.
Speaking to the media on May 23, 2025, Kalonzo firmly stated that he cannot associate himself with a government he believes is led by corrupt individuals.
“President Ruto should tell us where exactly we met. Some State House bloggers are claiming I met him there, but that’s false. This government must go, and the message remains clear. How could I possibly be aligned with such an administration?” he said.
Further, he stated that Kenyans should anticipate a new opposition formation aimed at liberating the country from what he described as poor governance.
Ruto Turned to Kalonzo First
During a meeting at State House on May 21, 2025, President Ruto said he approached Raila Odinga after Musyoka rejected his offer to join the government.
“After we were done with the 2022 election, I reached out to Mr Musyoka before reaching out to Mr Odinga, but he turned down the offer,” Ruto said.
Further, he expressed his willingness to collaborate with Ukambani grassroots leaders to transform the region’s landscape.

Critic of Kenya Kwanza Govt
The wiper party leader criticized President William Ruto’s administration, accusing it of abandoning Kenya’s long-term development blueprint, Vision 2030, and failing to prioritize national planning and accountability.
During the 42nd Annual Seminar of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) held in Mombasa on Friday, May 23, 2025, Kalonzo voiced his worries that Kenya’s commitment to development has stalled.
Additionally, he expressed frustration over the delay and neglect of Vision 2030 projects, highlighting the High Grand Falls Dam. He noted that the dam was intended to produce 650 megawatts of electricity, improve the national power grid, and extend irrigation from the Tana River to Garissa.
