Sirisia MP John Waluke’s unending enmity with Ford Kenya party leader Moses Wetang’ula appears to be far from over.
In a report by Tuko, the outspoken legislator who has been at loggerheads with the Bungoma senator for more than two decades said it would be better to go to hell than go to heaven with Wetang’ula.
“If we were on a path that leads us to heaven and I happen to see Moses Wetangula in our midst, I would rather take a different route even if it takes me to hell,” Sirisia MP John Waluke said.
Waluke and Wetang’ula grudge began during late President Daniel Moi’s era and was expected to end prior to the 2013 General Election when the then Sirisia Constituency was split into two (Kabuchai and Sirisia constituency).
However, even after the slit that saw Wetang’ula remain in Kabuchai as Waluke took charge of Sirisia, the embattled lawmaker still alleged that the Ford Kenya party leader was among the leaders who fixed him into the NCPB scandal.
Waluke and Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa formed part of the Tanga Tanga brigade and were the Deputy President’s point men in Bungoma County.
However, two weeks ago, the Sirisia MP ditched Deputy President William Ruto’s United Democratic Alliance for Uhuru’s Jubilee party in what is suspected to have been fueled by the Wetangula’s deal with the second in command.
While sources claim Waluke switched political camps to increase his winning stake ahead of the August 9 elections, political observers argue that he joined Jubilee to seek protection against the massive corruption charges he is currently facing.
Waluke was found guilty of defrauding National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) KSh 290 million alongside Grace Wakhangu, his co-director at Erad Supplies Company.
