While addressing reporters at Wilson Airport, Junet who is also the minority chief whip in the National Assembly said that Ruto is only looking for a reason to leave his party, noting that he has left at least 6 parties in the past.

Junet was flanked by Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho who is also ODM’s deputy party leader. Joho on his part responded to Ruto who on Sunday accused Odinga of using the handshake to bring “confusion, propaganda and conman-ship into our party.”
Hitting back at the DP, Joho said: “We have learnt from the actions of President Uhuru and Raila Odinga, people can disagree but eventually come together for the purpose of the country.”
He also noted that they are a new breed of politicians and are watching his every move.
