Amani National Congress (ANC) leader Musalia Mudavadi on Sunday, September 8, responded to Deputy President William Ruto’s call to join him in his 2022 presidential race.
Reports disclosed that the former deputy prime minister turned down Ruto’s offer terming it as “cheeky and ridiculous.”
Musalia made the remarks through a statement released by his press secretary Kibisu Kabatesi. The statement declared that his boss was not interested in joining Ruto’s bandwagon stating that they had different manifestos.
“Ruto’s proposition is cheeky and ridiculous and cannot sell. No serious Kenyan can buy into that gimmick,” the ANC leader wrote.
He further explained that his agenda and convictions are miles apart from Ruto’s, whose Jubilee government, he says, has driven the country into serious economic crisis through debt and corruption.
On Saturday, September 7, Ruto had called on Mudavadi to join him in his quest for the presidency.
Ruto who was speaking in Sabatia at a funds drive for 400 women’s groups drawn from the six wards in Sabatia Constituency, reminded Mudavadi that he campaigned for him and ODM party leader Raila Odinga in 2007 when they lost to former President Mwai Kibaki.
“I toured here before in 2007 and campaigned for Mudavadi to be Vice President. We were also campaigning for Agwambo [Raila Odinga] to be the president. However, our efforts were futile,” Ruto recalled.
According to Ruto, a political alliance between the two of them would guarantee them victory in the 2022 general election.
“I would like to tell you that Musalia should join my team and the team of Moses Akaranga [former Vihiga Governor] and Benjamin Washiali [Mumias East MP] so that we form the government,” Ruto stated.

Remember that sometimes in Israel God was putting leaders who were brutal, looters , hypocrites etc to rule them to serve as punishment for not obeying God. Therefore if Kenyans don’t obey the Almighty God then expect a bad leader.

Haji seeks orders on Sh10b Anglo-Leasing case
Paul Ogemba 11th Sep 2019 00:00:00 GMT +0300
Director of Public Prosecutions Noordin Haji (pictured) has appealed a decision to deny him the opportunity to introduce new evidence and present more witnesses in the Sh10 billion Anglo-Leasing scandal.
Through his deputy Nicholas Mutuku, the DPP argued that the decision by Chief Magistrate Martha Mutuku would have adverse and far-reaching effects on criminal cases his office is prosecuting.
Haji is seeking suspension of the trial of businessman Deepak Kamani, his brother Rashmi Kamani, former permanent secretaries Dave Mwangi and Joseph Magari, and former senior treasury employee David Onyonka until he is allowed to call more witnesses.
“The magistrate’s ruling has the effect of unlawfully blocking crucial evidence being tendered by the prosecution through the intended witnesses. This will have grave ramifications not only in this case but other criminal prosecutions we are undertaking,” said Mr Mutuku.
The prosecution had told the magistrate’s court they want to introduce four fresh witnesses before resting their case but lawyers for the accused persons objected on grounds the move would delay the case that has dragged on for five years.
The magistrate, in her ruling, agreed with the defence, stating that the intention to call new witnesses was an afterthought, and that it went against the accused persons right to a fair trial.

The magistrate said the prosecution did not present a convincing explanation why they waited until the tail-end of the case to produce new evidence.
She directed that only the investigating officer be allowed to testify.
But the DPP argued that they wanted to protect public funds by proving their case beyond reasonable doubt.
“It is unfair because if the investigating officer testifies and the prosecution closes its case, the intended crucial evidence would be locked out thereby resulting to a miscarriage of justice,” said Mutuku.
He stated that the magistrate made an error in ruling that the accused persons will be prejudiced through introduction of new evidence when their lawyers will have a chance to cross-examine the witnesses on anything they produce in court.
The prosecutor said the defence lawyers should have asked for more time to go through the new evidence.
The Kamani brothers, Mwangi, Magari and Onyonka were charged in 2015 with conspiracy to defraud the Government of billions of shillings.
