Energy Minister Kiraitu Murungi is yet to
abandon his project of bringing together “like-minded” politicians interested
in the presidency.
On Tuesday, Kiraitu pleaded with G7 leaders to
unite or fail miserably.
This is not the first time the Imenti South MP
is travelling this route. He is now pleading with the aspirants to heed the
unity call or perish.
He wants a unity pact featuring Kalonzo Musyoka,
Uhuru Kenyatta, Musalia Mudavadi and William Ruto, which he says is assured of
victory in the elections.
“I’m still keen to bring these leading
politicians together since this is the only sure way of forming a winning
team,” announced Kiraitu in Meru.
A passionate Kiraitu told the aspirants to read
the signs of the times and understand that none of the contestants can win the
State House race alone. He urged Kalonzo, Uhuru, Mudavadi and Ruto to swallow
their pride and unite to allow one of them succeed President Kibaki.
“They should unite the same way forces of change
did during the 2002 General Election where like-minded leaders came together
and finally managed to remove Kanu from power,” he appealed.
Good initiative
Kiraitu spoke in Imenti Central. He said he is
engaged in talks with G7 presidential aspirants to have them pick one flag-bearer.
“I am telling them to forget about State House
if they remain divided because it will give their opponents an easy and open
highway to clinch the presidency,” said Kiraitu.
On Tuesday, Kalonzo said he was not opposed to
such an initiative.
Through his spokesman Kaplich Barsito, Kalonzo
said he was among the leaders who signed the protocol to work with Kiraitu’s
Alliance Party of Kenya. Nithi MP Kareke Mbiuki, an ally of Uhuru, welcomed the
move saying Kiraitu should engage the aspirants in structured talks if he hopes
to succeed.
