Immigration Minister Otieno Kajwang'
Immigration Minister Otieno Kajwang’ has poured cold water on G7 alliance terming it is a basket full of busybodies which has reached dead end.
Speaking at Agoro Sare Seventh Day Adventist Church in Kasipul Kabondo constituency where he presided over a fundraiser, Kajwang’ said the political groupings of G-7 and PNU alliances were busy going round the same circle due to their panic to ODM’S ever increasing strength.
Kajwang’ who is eyeing for the senatorial seat for Homa Bay County assured ODM followers of clear victory with Prime Minister Raila Odinga as the party’s flag-bearer in 2012 general elections.
“This is an initiative of non-starters creating erroneous impression of serious readiness they are yet there is nothing going on. There is too much smoke coming out from their kitchen with very little cooking going on,” he said.
The Mbita legislator scoffed at the strategy to field one presidential candidate against Mr. Odinga as an exercise in futility adding the grouping will crumble before next elections because of selfish and conflicting interests in the outfit.
“This G-7 alliance is just, but hot air. It can’t stand and wade in the political murky waters because it is dead as dodo,” he added.
Kajwang’s sentiment came against the backdrop of announcement by Lugari MP Cyrus Jirongo that they have pulled out of G-7 citing schemes to shortchange in the arrangement with either Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta or Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka being cleared by President Mwai Kibaki as his successor.
The Immigration minister observed that the move by PNU Coalition to PNU Alliance was a sign that things are getting tough for the group some of whose members started touting KKK, before abandoning it to join G7 which is now facing leadership crisis.
Jirongo was quoted by a section of media saying that they were focusing on an alliance that comprises of Western, Nyanza and Rift Valley provinces
