Kibwana’s revelations come after former State House Chief of Staff, Nzioka Waita made the same claims in a statement dated Tuesday, May 17.
Waita noted that Kalonzo was promised a 20 percent stake in the Azimio government in addition to other appointments.
According to Waita, Mr. Odinga had offered Mr. Musyoka a number of dams and piped water that would go a long way in addressing the perennial water shortage in the Ukambani region.
Mr. Musyoka was also offered three-level six hospitals that would be built in the counties of Machakos, Makueni, and Kitui which are his strongholds, bringing together over 1.2 million voters.
Kivutha and Waita accuse the Wiper leader of being selfish by walking out of a deal that would benefit the whole community.
In yesterday’s meeting, a section of Ukambani leaders – who met with Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Executive Director, Mr. Raphael Tuju, maintained that they were still in Azimio and the move by Mr. Musyoka to leave the political faction was personal.
They vowed Ukambani aspirants would relentlessly campaign for Mr. Odinga in his quest to become the country’s fifth President.
Kalonzo Musyoka ended his engagement with Azimio on Monday, May 16, opting to run for the presidency under his Wiper party.
He accused Raila Odinga of failing to pick him as his running mate.
Mr. Odinga settled on Martha Karua as his running mate for the August general elections.
