The effects of Musalia Mudavadi’s highly anticipated earthquake brought far-reaching effects, as it marked the death of One Kenya Alliance and it rattled the State House.
Before the ANC leader could take to the podium to make his high address the One Kenya Alliance principles had already bolted out and left the meeting.
Wiper Leader Kalonzo Musyoka and Gideon Moi of KANU both stormed out of Mudavadi’s event when Deputy President William Ruto and his troops began trouping in the venue.
From a video circulation on social media, Moses Wetangula of Ford Kenya could be seen persuading Kalonzo and Gideon not to leave but his efforts did not bear fruits.
“The earthquake has already claimed two victims. I was very shocked that they got angry because we invited our friends,” Kakamega Senator Malala said in his address.
Mudavadi’s declaration ‘ earthquake ‘ as he puts it himself was full of political undertones and without doubt, it marked the death of OKA.
The Wiper leader and his KANU counterpart were quick to issue a statement parting way with Mudavadi, saying it’s time to end the nasty political games.
“Unfortunately, we have to part ways since some of his friends are not our friends and we are unsafe with them. We are therefore moving to higher grounds where Kenyans are safer,” they said in a statement.
“It’s time to move forward, it is time to end the nasty political games. We would like to wish Mudavadi the best of luck as he joins other partners. There is no room for damage,” they added.
When he took to the podium, Mudavadi never spared the government, as he lashed out at President Kenyatta for leading a ‘broke’ country.
The ANC leader raised alarm over the skyrocketing public debt, wanton graft, and rising incidences of insecurity in the country.
“Kenya is broke. Kenya’s public debt is skyrocketing. The country is at risk of being auctioned to international lenders, the whole country is on mortgage, critical installations have been mortgaged,” Mudavadi said amid cheers.
“The public-private partnership is eating up the country, the private entities are people in govt with their families. These cartels don’t even pay taxes,” the ANC leader added.
“When all this is happening, where are the handshake partners?” Mudavadi posed as the crowd cheered.
The ANC accused President Kenyatta and his handshake partner of sitting on the fence while incidents of insecurity and cold-blooded murders are reported every day.
The earthquake speech without a doubt was designed to touch the nerves of the government as it criticized the manner in which the country is being run.
