‘Its a good offer,and DP Ruto has to respond to it’

Even though Preside Uhuru said that he was no interested in 2022 politics,Murang’a Senator Irungu Kang’ata has become the highest-ranking Jubilee politician to confirm the fact that the President has been offered the position of Prime Minister in next Greneral Elections.

In an interview with Citizen TV on Tuesday night, Kang’ata said that allies of ODM Leader Raila Odinga had given Kenyatta the position of Prime Minister when he leaves the Presidency in 2022.

He challenged Deputy President William Ruto to respond to the offer, saying the Mt Kenya region would not offer its votes without getting something in return.

“For the record, I do support William Ruto 100 percent. In fact, he is very strong in Murang’a. But on the other hand, Odinga’s camp has been dangling a certain carrot to the people of Mt Kenya that they will make our kingpin Uhuru Kenyatta the Prime Minister in 2022. I would urge Ruto to respond to that issue,” Kang’ata stated.

The Senate Chief Whip said that there were several positions that should be considered for Kenyatta so as to leverage on his relatively youthful age and experience.

He said his list of possible solutions included creating a position for East African Commission (EAC) President or a senior position in the African Union (AU).

A close ally of ODM Leader Raila Odinga has said they plan on making President Uhuru Kenyatta a prime minister when he retires in 2022.Dagoretti North MP Simba Arati added that the plan will also see Odinga become President and is hinged on the referendum happening before the 2022 General Election.

Arati said that the plan to have Kenyatta as Prime Minister and Odinga as President was motivated by the desire to have the country start on a new foundation.

“We have a seen a different President Uhuru who is not going to spare anyone in the fight against corruption, if he delivers I do not see any problem with him serving as Prime Minister with Raila as President in future.”

Will Ruto agree to it or not?
