President Kenyatta to Appoint Kalonzo as Special Envoy

President Kenyatta is set to appoint Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka as a special peace envoy, the Star reports.

The publication says Musyoka's main duty as a special peace envoy will include acting as a mediator in local conflicts as well as outside the borders where Kenya’s contribution is required.

While attending the burial ceremony of Kalonzo's father in Kitui on Friday, President Kenyatta hinted at handing the Wiper leader a job.

" I’m grateful that Raila has been given a job by AU...He will be able to contribute here and don’t you think he will bring some money to Kenya? Is that wrong my brothers?"

 “My brother Kalonzo should help us to bring the country together and peace for all Kenyans and even internationally. Every leader has something to contribute…all we need is to give each other space and respect one another!” added Kenyatta.

Speaking at the burial, Musyoka also gave indications of renewed relationship with President Uhuru, vowing to back his agenda for the country.

“I think I will be Uhuru’s right hand man from now on and I don’t want anyone to question me about it, if you do, you will realise that I am as stubborn as my departed father. I am doing this because we want this people to benefit; we want this nation to be one thing. My brother Raila we will continue to work together,” said Kalonzo, adding that he will not allow anyone to separate them henceforth.

“Nataka kutangaza hapa mbele yenu, kutoka leo nisiwai ona mtu akinitenganisha na kakangu Uhuru Kenyatta."

Kalonzo has in the past led mediation efforts in neighboring countries; Somalia and South Sudan.

Using tax payer funds as if it is pocket money.

He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He has never put in a day of honest work.

He is so out of touch and and out of his depth.

This is corruption and Kenyans should reject it. Those positions being used to buy of the "opposition" are unconstitutional.

Kiingereza kipigwe marufuku kwenye mikutano yote inayofanywa hadharani na pia bungeni na wahudumu wetu tuliowachagua.

Kiswahili kitumiwe bungeni na pia kwenye mikutano yote inayofanywa hadharani na wahudumu wetu tuliowachagua na pia tunaowalisha kutokana na mishahara mikubwa tunayowalipa ili wavimbishe matumbo yao na pia ya jamaa zao.

Yes, being nice to the president has its own privileges ,and needless to say being a thorn in his flesh can land you on unemployment line for many years...This is one common thing democracy has with despotism.Yes when the two marry,they produce "demospoticracy" atoxic combination because it consolidates all the powers.But the masses can change all these.

@Maxiley:

Kenya ina nafasi sasa kuondoa milele na milele "matunda" ya Toroitich.

Wakati sasa umefika Wakenya wajiandae kuondoa kabisa viongozi wote tulio nao sasa waliofundishwa na kupewa utawala na Mzee Toroitich. Watu wafuatao ni matunda ya Toroitich.

1. Raila
2. Ruto
3. Uhuru
4. Kalonzo
5. Mudavadi
6. Gideon Toroitich
7. Wetangula

Kama Wakenya wanataka Kenya Mpya, ni lazima wasahau kabisa majina niliyoandika hapa 2022.
