Many leaders in the party have chimed in the developments with a looming fall-out in the party expected with DP William Ruto’s allies expressing their discontent with the move.
However, on Sunday, May 10, Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro who is on the DP’s camp, had to issue a clarification after a report by K24TV on him speaking on ODM leader Raila Odinga‘s hand in the party changes.

“Raila has advised them to play havoc with Jubilee and ravage the ruling party, then he will leave them. A fake MoU has been signed with KANU to bring on board Gideon Moi as the Leader of the Majority. David Murathe cannot even win a cattle dip chair,” a tweet by a parody account stated.
The media house used the quote during the Sunday bulletin under a news item where President Uhuru summoned senators to State House, attributing the sentiments to Nyoro.
The Kiharu MP via his account revelaed that the statement was not true adding, “It is unfortunate for K24 to quote a Parody account and attribute the same to us. This account is crap run by charlatans.”
“Anyone taking anything posted here seriously cannot be serious. We are African and Africa is our Business,” he stated.
Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro called out K24 TV for using a false statement in their bulletin on Sunday, May 10.
