Sen Moi to represent President Uhuru at inauguration of newly elected Malawi President

Baringo Senator Gideon Moi will represent President Uhuru Kenyatta at the swearing in of the Malawi Presidential elect, Lazarus Chakwera. The choice of Senator Moi points to the continued rift between President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto.

”Gideon will be accompanied by Kanu Secretary General Nick Salat, Cotu Secretary General Francis Atwoli, Senate Majority Leader Samuel Poghisio, and other senior government officials,” reads a report on the Sunday Standard.

Kanu and MCP share a long history, both being independence parties of their respective countries, and Chakwera was among dignitaries who attended the funeral of former President Daniel Arap Moi in February.Yesterday, Mr Salat confirmed the trip.

“Yes, we will be travelling to Malawi as our party has a long association with the winning party in the Central African country.  Tiaty MP William Kamket said that the new Malawi president is a family friend to Gideon and also shared a lot in political party association.

“Chakwera is a family friend to our chairman and their two parties have a lot in common. They are their respective countries’ independence parties and share symbols and ideals,” Kamket said.
