Dennis Itumbi today took to his social media accounts to expose what he claims as underdealings between the President and the opposition.

The former State House employee claims that Raila Odinga and President Uhuru Kenyatta are set to enter an agreement that will see the premier control half of the government.

The blogger continued by explaining how Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka is also set to walk away with big cabinet positions. He says that the former Vice-President is bidding for the Finance ministry, Foreign Affairs ministry and one other unnamed top ministry.

The claims by the blogger come at a time when political analysts have predicted a coalition government between the former political nemesis. Raila Odinga and Uhuru buried the hatchet after the famous March 2018 handshake. The rare political truce was met by fierce position from Ruto’s side as they claimed the ODM leader was out to wreck Jubilee.

Jubilee is now alleged to have agreed to enter a coalition that will include Gideon Moi’s Kanu party as well as Isaac Ruto’s Chama Cha Mashinani. Moi’s Kanu outfit has already formally sealed a post-election coalition agreement with the President receiving mixed reactions from Jubilee Party members. Politicians allied to the President approved of the agreement while those allied to his deputy want to hear nothing about the new coalition.

The Tangatanga faction has since been dealt a blow after its members lost plum positions in the senate. Elgeyo Marakwet senator Kipchumba Murkomen lost his majority leader seat to Samuel Poghisio of Kanu party, reaping from the controversial Jubilee-Kanu coalition agreement.
