Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has criticised President William Ruto's role in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) peace talks.
This comes days after a fresh conflict erupted in the eastern part of DRC, with M23 rebel groups seizing some towns in the region as locals flee for safety.
Speaking in Kilome Sub-County in Makueni County, Kalonzo dismissed President William Ruto's efforts in DRC peace talks, saying Ruto had failed to support Uhuru, his former boss, when he was the East African Community's (EAC) peace envoy. "When [President] Ruto took over, the mistake he made was removing [former President] Uhuru as the chief mediator and refusing to facilitate him, and then the whole thing went south," Kalonzo said. "How can he claim to solve DRC problems when he can't do it at home?" Kalonzo posed.
However, without taking sides in the ongoing conflict, Kalonzo said leaders from both countries are his friends, having been part of a peacemaking team that brokered a coalition between Joseph Kabila and Felix Tshisekedi.
