The bad blood between President Uhuru Kenyatta and DP William Ruto could have been a factor in the removal of Bungoma Senator Moses Wetang'ula as Ford Kenya leader. Atwoli, known for his deep pockets, also helped bankroll the scheme to remove the Ford Kenya leader, the Star has learnt. The plotters had met ODM leader Raila at his Capitol Hill office, together with Simiyu, Wamunyinyi and Wamalwa. ODM, through secretary general Edwin Sifuna, has distanced the party leader from the coup, saying ODM was not involved in any way. We are the bona fide party officials and Wetang’ula should forget about the party,” Wamunyinyi said.
