Kalonzo Musyoka visits Kiraitu Murungi for Meru support

Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka yesterday held a meeting with Meru leaders who included Governor Kiraitu Murungi as he took his vote hunting to Meru County.

Governor Kiraitu hosted Kalonzo, some party MPs and National Executive Council members at his Nkubu home in South Imenti, before attending a church service at PCEA Kagaru.

At his home, Kiraitu revealed how Kalonzo who was his classmate at University of Nairobi, had come close to becoming president when he (Kalonzo) and the late Vice President George Saitoti were in the defunct Alliance Party of Kenya, which also had a bus as its symbol.

"Kalonzo was in the original bus, with Saitoti, even (President) Uhuru. But they left it for me because they refused to be the driver! We had tried to negotiate for him (Kalonzo) to be president when Saitoti was around but it brought problems," Kiraitu said.

In Meru, Kalonzo met various groups as he sought to bolster his chances of becoming president in the August 9 general election.

Even as he declared that he was still firmly in the OKA which brings him together with KANU's leader Senator Gideon Moi, Amani National Congress' Musalia Mudavadi and Senator Moses Wetang'ula, Kalonzo sought the support of Meru leaders and residents.
