Kalonzo: No Trust in Ruto’s CS Picks
Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has maintained that he has no faith in President William Ruto’s Cabinet Secretary nominees.
In a message posted on X on Friday, Kalonzo continued to express his displeasure with Ruto’s pick.
“We have no faith in KK Cabinet Secretaries nominees,” he said.
Kalonzo’s remark comes just days after he urged Wiper MPs to reject the appointment of ODM members nominated for CS positions.
On Sunday, Kalonzo told Wiper MPs not to approve the appointment of the four ODM nominees when the Committee on Appointments tables its report in the House.
The four are Opiyo Wandayi (Energy), Wycliffe Oparanya (Cooperatives), John Mbadi (National Treasury), and Hassan Joho (Mining).
