On January 6, 2020, while speaking in Nakuru County, Bahati MP Kimani Ngunjiri warned Ruto’s allies against associating with Sonko.
He argued that the former Jubilee Governor was using the camp as a platform to address his grievances with President Uhuru Kenyatta after an alleged fallout.
“We need to tell the Deputy President the plain truth as it is. We do not need to insult him. It won’t help with our cause.
“Allowing Sonko to abuse the head of state is inappropriate and we should not let him do so in our peaceful meetings. Let him rant and expose all his pain far away from us,” Ngunjiri urged.
Sonko joined Ruto and other Tanga Tanga MPs in Msambweni, Kwale County on Thursday, December 31, 2020, during the area MP’s, Feisal Bader’s, homecoming ceremony.
He vowed his allegiance to the DP and the United Democratic Alliance (UDA), a party linked to Ruto as he accused Kenyatta of orchestrating his fallout.
“He has turned on everyone including Aden Duale, Kipchumba Murkomen, Susan Kihika and he also betrayed me, a close friend and brother,” Sonko stated.
During the burial of former Machakos Senator Boniface Kabaka on Tuesday, December 22, Sonko also attacked the government alleging that it was behind the politician’s death.
On January 3, he called for the impeachment of Kenyatta arguing that the common mwananchi was fed up with the Jubilee regime.
Sonko’s tactics are seemingly going against a strategy Ruto allies plan to engage the head of state.
Ruto urged his allies to desist from attacking Kenyatta and opposing Jubilee plans a few days after holding a three-hour meeting with Kenyatta at State House in November 2020.
