Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has declared that he has no debt with anyone politically debt and no leader should expect payment from any quarters.
While speaking at Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko’s event he said, “In politics there is no debt. You get what you go for. If you go for nothing, you get nothing.”
Mr Musyoka was responding to a number of lawmakers allied to the Wiper party for him to go for the top seat in the next General election, saying that it was time that he is also supported by other politicians.
Borabu MP Ben Momanyi, a member of Wiper also said that ODM leader should not run for president in 2022 he should instead support Mr Musyoka who has supported him twice in his unsuccessful presidential bids in 2013 and 2017.
His sentiments wereechoed by Kilome MP Thadeus Nzambia who said that leaders from Ukambani will settle for nothing less than the former vice president.
However, Kalonzo insisted that the country must move forward without being tied down by issues political debts.
Further to this he said the Wiper Party would support President Kenyatta’s implementation of the Big Four agenda pointing out that a member of the party, Ms Rose Museo who is Makueni County Woman Representative, is in the Building Bridges committee appointed by President Kenyatta.
At the same time, Mr Musyoka warned that he was ready to break ranks with his ODM counterparts in the event that a by-election for Embakasi South constituency is called if former MP Irshad Sumra and incumbent Julius Mawathe cannot reach a consensus.
Mr Musyoka said that if it were up to the National Super Alliance (Nasa) leadership — made up of ODM party leader Raila Odinga, ANC party leader Musalia Mudavadi, Ford Kenya party leader Moses Wetangula and himself — they would not have allowed the competition between the two coalition members to happen.
