I had no option but to quit UDA for Azimio
Former Cabinet Minister Kipruto arap Kirwa says he had no option but to quit Deputy President William Ruto’s UDA party.
He says lack of consultation and micromanagement of processes prompted him to leave. He was rattled by the manner in which elections board members were appointed.
“We were called one morning for breakfast and in the midst members of the election board were introduced and after breakfast we passed a resolution,” says Kirwa.
While he does not doubt the capacity of the board members whom he describes as “good Kenyans”, Kirwa, 65, says he was rattled by the manner in which they were appointed.
Next came the nomination of candidates in his home county of Trans Nzoia.
Kirwa regrets that some “busy bodies” took charge of the process and picked candidates in Cherangany and Saboti among other areas without consultation.
