The Wiper party lawmakers said Uhuru and Ruto have given Kalonzo
a raw deal.
“There is no way we would be able to sell it to our people.
The VP told us he rejected what he was offered and we are in agreement that it
is rejectable with no redeeming consequences,” Education Minister Mutula Kilonzo
said.
The meeting was held

In the said deal Mr Kenyatta will vie as President, Ruto to
be his running mate and Mr Wamalwa will go for Majority Leader in Parliament
while Mr Ngilu and Mr Balala will share the two slots for speaker of parliament
and senate.
