The speaker of the Senate Kenneth Lusaka has rubbished claims of pledging allegiance to the Deputy President William Ruto, saying he attends his functions as state official and not his ally.
This comes after concerns were raised over his presence in all functions hosted and organized by DP Ruto as well as accusations saying he was not independent in making senate decisions rather takes orders from above.
According to Lusaka, he will not stop attending the DP functions and will accompany him in all his endeavors as he is expected in delivering his state duties.
“Have you ever heard me, even during those events, say that I will support so and so? Of course, I’m a politician and I’m ambitious. When the time for politics comes, we will make the announcements,” he said.
