Former Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale’s defection to Deputy President William Ruto’s Jubilee side has continued to raise more questions among Western leaders.

Over the weekend, Western leaders opposed to DP Ruto ganged up against his tanga tanga brigade that is led by Dr Khalwale.

The leaders who included nominated MP Godffrey Osotsi and ODM secretary general Edwin Sifuna told off Ruto, telling him that his frequent visits to western are of no use.

This is when Osotsi had to open up on the ceremony that marked Khalwale’s official joining of Ruto’s Jubilee side.

According to Osotsi, Khalwale defected to Ruto’s Jubilee in a small ceremony in his house in Malinya and not Bukhungu stadium or Muliro gardens where major political declarations are made.

He made the remarks while arguing out that Ruto has not been able to make any key allies from Western apart from Khalwale.

“The DP and his cronies should re-evaluate what they are calling inroads in Western after their highly-expensive trips. How many key leaders have they acquired from our side? I think they can only brag of Boni Khalwale …. but then Khalwale defected to Ruto’s Jubilee in a small ceremony in his house in Malinya and not Bukhungu stadium or Muliro gardens where major political declarations are made,” Mr Osotsi was quoted by Daily Nation.

He said ODM supporters are simply on “a political go-slow because President Uhuru Kenyatta has directed them to avoid aggressive politics and support their agenda of all-inclusive Kenya and fight against corruption”.

The leaders argued that Ruto has no chance in Western “regardless of how many time he comes calling”.

“The people of Western know which leaders have their interests at heart, and it is not Ruto,” Sifuna was quoted.
