Kalonzo Musyoka, a co-chair in the bipartisan talks notably absent from Bomas on Monday as the committee meets.
The Wiper leader was conspicuously missing, catching the attention of many given that he holds the co-chair position alongside National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah.
However, KANU’s Secretary for Political Affairs, Fredrick Okang’o, who has been attending Azimio meetings clarified that Kalonzo was out of the country.
“Kalonzo had tendered his apologies to the committee as he is abroad for personal reasons,” Okang’o revealed.
Kalonzo’s camp had duly communicated to Azimio that he would not be able to attend the meeting according to the statement.
Okang’o added that there wouldn’t be a void since Azimio had asked Opiyo Wandayi, a Ugenya MP, to co-chair the meeting in Kalonzo’s absence.
Nonetheless, Okang’o did not reveal the country Kalonzo has flown out to maintaining that is a personal matter.

“The National Minority Leader is the substantial Deputy Co-chair. Once Kalonzo jets back into the country he will resume his position,” the official stated.
Kalonzo’s current position as the team leader of the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition Party delegates in cross-party negotiations, according to Manyora, is risky for his political future.
He advised Kalonzo to relinquish his role to the National Assembly Minority leader Opiyo Wandayi whom he said was at the same level as Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichung’wah, who is leading the Kenya Kwanza Alliance delegation.
“Kalonzo Musyoka, Run, run. Run away from Bomas, and while outside, look inside, and you will see Raila Odinga delivering you to the slaughterhouse. Bomas is a trap. Abandon that position to Opiyo Wandayi, who’s at the Kimani Ichung’wah level. Thank me later with uki,” Manyora said.
