Wetangula Dismisses Kalonzo over Joining Azimio Says He is Happy at Kenya Kwanza
Bungoma Senator Moses Wetangula has turned down an offer by Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka to have him join the Azimio la Umoja Movement.

Speaking on Wednesday, the Ford Kenya party leader insisted that he is happy at the Kenya Kwanza Alliance camp.
He said that Kalonzo is his best political friend in the country and the feeling is mutual.
"I can't go back. He is my friend and I don't want to engage him but I'm happy where I am and we are going to win this election the signs are everywhere but we are also incomplete without Kalonzo. It's mutual because nobody can deny that he is my best political friend in Kenya and I'm his best political friend," Wetangula told NTV.
He noted that Kalonzo was pulled by the boss of Azimio la Umoja, adding that he has no doubt Kalonzo is in some considerable degree of discomfort.
His remarks came after Kalonzo on Wednesday said that he would hold talks with the Ford-Kenya party leader (Wetangula) to convince him to join Azimio.
He noted that the two had not formalized their engagement.
"We have been through a rough time with Wetangula. We have even been tear-gassed during the times of Cord and Nasa," Kalonzo said.
On March 19, Kalonzo said he missed Wetangula so much and that Kenyans should not be taken aback if they see him in Azimio.
"I miss Wetangula. I have struggled and suffered with him. Don't be surprised if he comes to where I'm," he said.
"I pray every day and night for Wetangula to leave Kenya Kwanza and join Azimio la Umoja."
Soon after Wetangula and ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi moved to deputy president William Ruto's side, Kalonzo was candid in begging the Bungoma senator to rethink his decision.
He publicly said that Mudavadi can go but urged Wetangula to come back, saying they have been together for long ostensibly to mean it was not worthy to break their friendship because of the DP.
