Uhuru and Mudavadi are both State house projects: Kalembe Ndile

Former Kibwezi Member of parliament Kalembe Ndile claims that there are serious power games going on at State house over two presidential candidates Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta and Deputy Prime Minister Musalia Mudavadi.

Speaking to a local radio station, Radio Africa’s Radio Jambo, August 1, 2012, the former member of parliament says that technocrats at state house are split on whether to support Uhuru Kenyatta or Musalia Mudavadi as the next president of Kenya. 

Ndile claims that these technocrats are of the view that Mudavadi will be easier to control because of his soft spoken personality unlike Uhuru whom they see as a difficult man.

This comes only a day after reports in a section of the press claimed that Mudavadi’s UDF party’s officials have strong links with State House. (One official is said to be activist Mary Wamboi’s P.A. and another calls the president his uncle)

Raila and Ruto

Kalembe Ndile also claims that Ruto and Raila’s sour relationship is personal and neither about the ICC issue nor the Mau Issue. He adds that it is about a parcel of land belonging to Ruto that was revoked around Milimani area.

Ruto and Uhuru

Ndile says that Uhuru and Ruto’s relationship is one of convenience as both are facing charges of crimes against humanity at The Hague.

He adds that despite their close working relationship the two have not shown any real effort to water down the sour relationship between their two constituencies namely Kikuyu and Kalenjin. He has challenged them to announce the return of IDP’s to their farms which they occupied before the disputed 2007 election.

Raila Uhuru runoff

He is however of the view that Raila would emerge the winner of a runoff between him and Uhuru because of the fact that Uhuru Kenyatta is a Kikuyu same as Kibaki who is currently the president and that Kenyans would find it hard to elect another Kikuyu leader.

2017 presidency

The charismatic leader also adds that he will stand for president in 2017 because by then he would have acquired a degree which is a requirement to be president. He adds that these days it is easy to get a degree and that he was going to get one online.

Kalembe dismisses Miguna’s book as “a houseboy’s/house girl’s” account of events and cannot be taken seriously.
