Ruto’s allies make Gideon block Oparanya, Orengo from meeting Mzee Moi

Kakamega Governor Wycliffe Oparanya and Siaya Senator James Orengo missed a chance to meet former President Daniel Arap Moi.

This is after they toured the Kabarak home in delegation led by Senate Speaker Ken Lusaka on Friday morning to condole with Mzee Moi over the death of his son Jonathan Moi.

Sources say despite being welcomed by Baringo Senator Gideon Moi, the group of leaders were denied entry to meet Mzee Moi.

The other leaders in the Lusaka delegation were Baringo Governor Stanley and senators Susan Kihika (Nakuru), a close confident of Deputy President William Ruto.

All the leaders that have visited Mzee Moi at his Kabarak home in the last few days since the death of Jonathan have all been allowed to meet Moi. 

It is understood that Baringo Senator was uncomfortable with the coming of  Kiptis and  Kihika-close allies Ruto  “prompting him to block all the leaders from condoling with the retired president.

It has been reported that Lusaka had been told not to include Kiptis in his delegation but already the governor had joined the team and “could have been embarrassing to drop out of the delegation”.

Jonathan  will be buried tomorrow at his home in Kabimoi, in Eldama Ravine with a funeral service held at his father’s home in Kabarak.
