Public Service Cabinet Secretary Justin Muturi has pulled yet another surprise move, seeking to divorce his Democratic Party, from the ruling Kenya Kwanza Alliance.
Muturi has written to the Kenyan Kwanza secretariat, issuing a 30-day notice for DP to leave the coalition, in a letter signed by the party Secretary General Jacob Haji and Chairman Esau Kioni. "Kindly take notice that our stay in Kenya Kwanza coalition is no longer tenable due to the prevailing political developments," read the letter. "DP, vide this letter, hereby gives 30-day notice to exit the coalition as stipulated in the termination clause (8) in the coalition agreement.
This notice if effective from the date of this letter," they added.
The letter has also been copied to Registrar of Political Parties and Secretary Generals for Ford Kenya, United Democratic Alliance (UDA) and Maendeleo Chap Chap respectively.
