Azimio lawmaker hits out at Uhuru Kenyatta for meeting US and UK envoys who’re alleged to have rigged the 2022 elections.
Homa Bay Town Member of Parliament has slammed retired President Uhuru Kenyatta after he held high-profile meetings with US Ambassador to Kenya Meg Whitman and United Kingdom High Commissioner to Kenya Neil Wigan.
In a statement via his X handle on Saturday, December 9, Kaluma wondered why the former Head of State was meeting the two envoys.
The ODM MP told Uhuru to keep off the two envoys claiming they rigged the 2022 presidential elections.
“Why is President Uhuru Kenyatta meeting individuals who rigged our 2022 presidential elections? Keep off US Ambassador to Kenya Meg Whitman and her associates from the West,” Kaluma stated.
This was after the former President on December 6 held a meeting with UK Commissioner Wigan at his office in Nairobi.
The meeting was also attended by former Permanent Representative of Kenya to the United Nations Macharia Kamau.

“The British High Commissioner to Kenya H.E. Neil Wigan OBE, paid a courtesy call on H.E. President (Rtd) Uhuru Kenyatta at his Office in Nairobi,” Uhuru said in a statement.
The former President then met Ambassador Whitman on Friday, December 9 at his Nairobi office.
“The US Ambassador to Kenya H.E. Meg Whitman today paid a courtesy call on H.E. President (Rtd) Uhuru Kenyatta at his Nairobi office,” Uhuru’s office said in a statement without divulging details of the meeting.
Uhuru Kenyatta in a statement to the press noted that the two leaders had paid him a courtesy call.
The former President did not divulge details of the two meetings.
Uhuru has maintained that he backs Azimio leader Raila Odinga, despite claims from some Azimio MPs that he is cozying up to Ruto’s administration.
