Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka has denied claims that he held a private meeting with Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga, saying he does not conduct secret political talks.

Speaking during a church service on Sunday, April 12, 2026, at Tseikuru Independent Faith Baptist Church, Kalonzo addressed reports that the two leaders had met quietly in Nairobi.

“Nimeona wengine wakisema I had a secret meeting na Governor Gladys Wanga. No, mimi sio mtu wa kufanya mikutano ya siri,” he said.

He added that he has nothing to hide in his political engagements.

“Mahali nimefika niogope nani? I only respect naogopa Mwenyezi Mungu ambaye ametupatia uhai,” he told the congregation.

Kalonzo also used the platform to speak about faith and leadership, saying Kenya remains a nation guided by God under the Constitution.

“Under the constitution, Kenya is a nation under God… that means the authority of God. So nobody then can derail it,” he said.

His remarks come days after reports claimed that Wanga met him in Nairobi on Thursday night. Sources said the meeting lasted until about 9pm and involved a small group of leaders.

The talks were reportedly linked to growing tension within the broad-based coalition, especially after allies of President William Ruto’s United Democratic Alliance rejected ODM’s zoning proposals.

Neither Wanga nor Kalonzo had publicly addressed the claimed meeting until his church remarks on Sunday.

Kalonzo attacks Ruto leadership

Kalonzo went further to criticise President Ruto, saying the country is heading towards political change through democratic means.

“I want to encourage Kenyans to know Mr William Ruto is on his way out in a democratic manner,” he said.

He also appeared to reference recent unrest, questioning the use of force against citizens. “I do not know which leader in the world can order that his own children were hit… and he died. He was the first one to fall,” he said.

The comments follow chaotic scenes on Saturday in Kikuyu, Kiambu County, where Kalonzo accused the government of using police to block opposition leaders from attending a rally.

He claimed officers fired live and rubber bullets and used teargas on leaders and supporters at the Gitaru-Kikuyu Interchange. According to him, some vehicles in the convoy were damaged during the confrontation.

“Before the eyes of the entire world, you deployed the police… to fire live and rubber bullets at us and at Kenyans who were peaceful,” Kalonzo said in an earlier statement.

He insisted the opposition would not be silenced despite the crackdown.

“You cannot shoot down the will of a people and you cannot teargas a nation’s conscience,” he said.
