KANU’s William Kamket joins Kenya Kwanza
By evans.maritim, September 1, 2022Tiati Member of Parliament (MP) William Kamket has joined President-elect William Ruto‘s Kenya Kwanza camp.
The vocal legislator was welcomed to the alliance by Ruto at the Deputy President’s official residence in Karen, Nairobi, on Thursday, September 1.
“Working together is imperative for the full realization of the economic objectives we promised the people of Kenya. I am pleased to welcome Tiaty MP William Kamket to Kenya Kwanza,” Ruto said.
His move comes days after he congratulated Ruto for winning the August 9 presidential election.
“I actually cast my bet on presidential candidate Raila Odinga, Senator Gideon Moi, and the woman representative Gladwell Cheruiyot but lost all.
“I accept the thorough beating and I beg, please accommodate me back,” he said.
Kamket promises to work with Ruto
The MP, who was elected on a KANU party ticket, said he will work with Ruto once he is sworn in.
He further said he had confirmed that the presidential election votes cast and counted in his polling station were what reached Bomas of Kenya and allayed fears that the presidential votes were stolen as claimed by Azimio la Umoja leaders in their petition currently before the Supreme Court.
“I can personally attest the votes were tallied at Chemolingot, my home-turf, were the same reflected at the national IEBC tallying centre at Bomas of Kenya. There was no rigging whatsoever,” he said.
