The future of the United Republic Party as one of the principal partners in the recently launched National Alliance Party now hangs in the balance as residents of the rich voting bloc of South Rift region gear towards opting out of the alliance citing lack of consultation over the new party policy guidelines and principles.
The Kipsigis, a sub clan of the large Kalenjin community have thus a feeling that going it alone would be the most appropriate option.
The residents have since petitioned Senator Gideon Moi, the national chairman of Kanu to visit the two regions and launch the party’s membership drive.
“We want Kanu to be revitalised because we are not satisfied with the recent event that saw the merger of URP and TNA into one political party called Jap without proper consultations,” they said.
“There are hundreds of Kanu life and ordinary members in the two counties who have openly expressed their displeasure with the idea of rejoin Jap and would like to renew their party membership,” he added.
MCAs in Kericho and Bomet county assemblies who are masquerading as Ruto’s loyal supporters are reportedly bulling people and have no respect towards our governors Isaac Ruto of Bomet and Paul Chepkwony of Kericho, they said.
“We want Senator Gideon Moi and the party’s secretary general Nick Salat to call a public rally at Kapkatet which is the nerve centre of Kipsigis politics so that the community can chart the way forward,” they added.
The other allegations are that MCAs from the two counties who are being accused of making trips to the Sugoi home of the DP in Eldoret are doing so not for the benefits of the Kipsigis people, but with motives of spreading rumour against their fellow leaders.
The man who is seen as DP Ruto’s right handman in Kipsigis land, the Kericho senator Charles Keter is said to be a bully and arrogant. Together with other power brokers, it is said, they have been polarising the two regions polluting the political air in the region while sowing seeds of discord.
MPs from the two regions are in support of Jap, but without the full backing of the population, it is claimed.
