Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya Coalition Party leader Raila Odinga’s staunch supporter Mohamed Wehliye caused a stir online after he was spotted with President William Ruto.
In a photo shared on Twitter by lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi, Wehliye is seen together with the senior counsel and President Ruto while at a venue that looks like Dubai.
Ahmednasir had captioned the photo that the trio was working to make Kenya better again.
This triggered mixed reactions from a section of netizens who questioned how Wehliye had moved on so fast after Raila lost the presidential election to Ruto.
Some accused him of dumping Raila and joining the Ruto-led government.
This forced Wehliye to take to Twitter to defend himself, arguing that he has not joined the government.
He told the critics to relax, arguing that he has not taken up anyone’s position in the government, noting that he only had a good meeting with the president and discussed how they can both help Kenya.
However, Wehliye sacarstically remarked that after all, everyone is looking for work in the new government.
“To all those sending DMs & the Northern politicians panicking….Please relax, I am not joining government or taking up ‘your positions’. Just had a very good meeting with our president and discussed how we can all help KENYA! Si kila mtu anatafuta kazi!” tweeted Wehliye.
President Ruto who is out of the country has been meeting several Kenyans in the diaspora, including Kenyan businessman Julius Mwale and his controversial supporter Cosmo Choy.
