The legislators made the remarks of Saturday, September 8, in Machakos County where they attended a memorial ceremony for Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko's late father.

“Raila should not have any intentions of running again in 2022. He should now back Kalonzo who supported him in 2013, and 2017,” said Momanyi.

Kilome MP Thadeus Nzambi echoed Momanyi's sentiments and stated that leaders drawn from Ukambani will only throw their weight behind Kalonzo.

The law maker's remarks also come at a time when other Wiper Party supporters have also been calling for Raila to 'return the hand' as he was heavily indebted to Kalonzo who never decamped even after two failed attempts to clutch presidency.

Kalonzo however said that he owed no one a political debt adding that the gospel of political debts was outdated.

"In politics there is no debt. You get what you go for. If you go for nothing, you get nothing," Kalonzo responded to calls by MPs for Raila to support him come 2022.
