Kenya Kwanza and Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition bipartisan teams are today expected to hold their first meeting.
This was after the two sides agreed to hold their first sitting at the Bomas of Kenya although the Azimio side had proposed the talks to be held at a five Star hotel.
Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua on Tuesday, August 8, asked Kenya Kwanza team leader Kimani Ichungwah to give his best and ensure that his side is not cornered by the opposition.
Speaking in Nyeri, where the DP has been accompanying President William Ruto on a tour of the Mt Kenya region, the second in command warned the Majority Leader in the National Assembly of dire consequences if he would become a sellout in the upcoming Kenya Kwanza-Azimio talks.
Gachagua branded as ‘The Truthful Man’ reminded Kikuyu MP that he got his wife in Nyeri and that he will take his wife and children if he loses.
“You have been given the responsibility by the president to deal with these people. Don’t dare become a sell-out. Don’t cajole them. And Kimani actually got his wife from here (Nyeri); if you dare go and get cornered, we will take away your wife and children, and you will be left alone,” DP Gachagua said.
The Azimio la Umoja bipartisan team is being led by Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka and Minority leader in the National Assembly Opiyo Wundayi.
Yesterday, the opposition leader Raila Odinga strengthened his team with Jubilee Secretary General Jeremiah Kioni after the vote-rich Mt Kenya region cried foul claiming that they had been sidelined in the bipartisan talks.
