Bahati Member of Parliament Kimani Ngunjiri has been the first leader to oppose the anticipated formation of a unity government.
This follows claims that President Uhuru Kenyatta could be considering reshuffling his cabinet to include ministers proposed by the opposition, in line with the Building Bridges Initiative.
Speaking on Radio Jambo Monday evening, Ngunjiri said that he will have no option but to accept the new formation, terming it merely an attempt to appease the Orange party chief Raila Odinga-led side.
‘’I will have no option but to accept the changes as he has the ultimate decision over his government,’’ he said.
He faulted the move, accusing the head of state of leaving his party members in the dak on the same.
The vocal lawmaker accused both the President and Odinga of selfishness, noting that the plan is solely aimed at their political satisfaction and not the betterment of the republic.
‘’He never involved us in the plan, making it a selfish arrangement,’’ he added.
This follows reports that Uhuru and Raila secretly met at the Coast last week to discuss the new development.
If implemented, the reshuffle will see names proposed by Odinga, Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka and Baringo Senator Gideon Moi make it to the government.
