Amani National Congress (ANC) party leader Musalia Mudavadi has refuted claims that he owes his position in the Grand Coalition Government to former Prime Minister Raila Odinga.
Mudavadi cited Raila's recent statement that he (Raila) gave Mudavadi the position of deputy prime minister in the Grand Coalition government, saying the ex-premier had no office through which he could dish out positions.
The Amani party leader added the deputy prime minister post was created by the law, establishing the grand coalition government to which he was lead negotiator on behalf of Orange Democratic Movement (ODM).
Mudavadi's response comes after Raila asked him and former National Assembly Speaker Kenneth Marende to rejoin ODM ahead of the 2017 polls. He further dismissed claims that the ODM party leader was responsible for Marende's win as the National Assembly's speaker. The Amani leader also stated he was not ready to join ODM and instead told Raila to join ANC.
"I am not shifting from ANC to ODM...ANC would be much richer if he (Raila) joined us," said Mudavadi during a press conference at the party's headquarters Tuesday.
