Kiambu Woman Representative Anne Wamuratha now insists that President William Ruto will not enter into a coalition government with his political nemesis Raila Odinga despite the intensified pressure through mass protests.

Wamuratha noted that Odinga is using the back door means to push for a handshake and possible inclusion in government.

Speaking in Thika Town on Tuesday, July 18 where she disbursed Ksh8 million worth of bursary cheques under the National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF) to over 500 beneficiaries, the county MP took issue with the opposition team for allegedly causing disorder in the country.

She lamented that the Azimio chief is hoodwinking Kenyans that his agenda is to pressure the government to lower the high cost of living yet he was interested in power and positions.

The county MP held that Ruto’s administration was busy delivering the promises it made to Kenyans maintaining that Kenya Kwanza government will not be cowed.

“We have all agreed that there will not be a handshake and neither shall we enter into a coalition government, that they should forget. It is as a result of a handshake that the previous administration terribly failed and we will not go that route,” said Wamuratha.

The woman representative who was in the company of a host of MCAs including Peter Mburu (Kamenu), Godfrey Mucheke (Kalimoni) and Kennedy Mwangi (Thika Township) called on the opposition to call off the countrywide protests to allow the government to deliver.

“Kenyans are peaceful people and that is what we are all seeking. For our jobless youths to find employment opportunities, we must all seek to preach peace and actively embark on uniting Kenyans for posterity. Let us stop abusing the youths by making them protest unnecessarily,” she added.

Kalimoni MCA Godrey Mucheke who was present echoed similar sentiments by calling on leaders especially from the vast Mt Kenya region to keep off protests saying that such will continue to hurt their businesses.

“Our people and especially we who come from Mt Kenya region cannot parade in the streets when we have work to do. We must restore order in this country by going back to undertake economic activities which is the surest way to heal the high cost of living,” said Mucheke.
