Kalonzo Demands Four Cabinet Slots
According to a report by a local daily, Wiper wants at least four cabinet slots on top of the Chief Cabinet Secretary post offered by Azimio la Umoja presidential aspirant Odinga.
The 4 cabinet slots Wiper wants include; Energy, Water, Health, and Tourism ministries.
The party also wants 30% of diplomatic posts should Azimio win the August 9 general elections.
The talks have been confirmed by Makueni Senator Mutula Kilonzo Jnr, one of the hardliners in Kalonzo’s camp.
The revelation comes after some insiders of Raila, including senior Ukambani politicians, hinted that Kalonzo was softening his heart towards Azimio.
“Finally, Wiper has decided to join Azimio about two months to elections. Dialogue with Azimio leadership must involve those of us who have been selling Azimio in the region; those who did the heavy lifting,” Makueni governor Kivutha Kibwana said earlier.
Prof Kivutha Kibwana is also in charge of Azimio campaigns in Makueni, Machakos, and Kitui counties.
