Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has issued a statement after a controversial audio recording of him went viral.
In the recording, Kalonzo is heard discussing the appointment of National Liberal Party leader Augustus Kyalo Muli, selected by the Political Parties Liaison Committee as the Azimio representative on the IEBC selection panel.
Kalonzo has appeared to acknowledge the authenticity of the audio but downplayed it as something that was being used by his adversaries to further an agenda.
“Maybe I can invite you and share my thoughts on the government’s delaying tactics. But if I do, do not record me and forward to Itumbi.People are desperate, absolutely desperate.I said Muli is one of us. He comes from my home county. I certainly wish him well, but let him not be used as a proxy to delay a pressing national matter..”
According to Kalonzo, Azimio agreed on Koki Muli and the coalition was given 48 hours to forward a name to be listed on the panel.
He however maintains that he has little to do with the delays in reconstituting the IEBC, even as a court case involving his ally Ambassador Muli continues to drag on.
