Honourable John Waluke, member of Parliament for Sirisia, has announced that he will not be attending the rallies hosted by his Jubilee party.

It is evident from his words that Mr. Waluke will not take part in the sizable rallies held by the Azimio-Oka alliance, of which Jubilee is a member going forward. Waluke was among the 32 MPs who visited the president at the State House. 



He claimed that his constituents need development, not protests. His statement comes a day after one of his colleagues, Mp. Felix Odiwour alias Jalang'o was ejected from an Azimio rally in Mavoko Machakos county.

In a statement, he said Kenya is facing many challenges ranging from drought to hunger, which needs urgent attention and not demonstrations.

The Member of Parliament further said that he is solely focused on peace and unity as a member of the western MPs caucus.


Waluke's move is a blow to Raila Ahead of the Busia rally, which will be in his backyard.


This is happening at a time when the secretary general for the Jubilee alliance Jeremiah Kioni has announced that disciplinary action will apply to the leaders who are not abiding by the party position.


Former prime minister Raila Odinga stated on Thursday that he doesn't recognize Ruto as the president of the Republic of Kenya.

Speaking at Machakos while addressing 123 Azimio legislators, the opposition leader regretted that Kenyans are suffering under an illegitimate Regime.


He took the opportunity to outline his next course of action to achieve electoral justice and reduce the high cost of living and punitive taxation.
