Kalonzo Musyoka, former vice president, has maintained a pristine reputation over his 40-year career in Kenyan politics according to Wiper Patriotic Front spokesperson Ndegwa Njiru.

This follows a long-standing dispute related to Kalonzo's Yatta land acquisition, which Njiru said was resolved when the Wiper leader provided DCI with bank financing records and sale agreements.

Njiru's appointment as the party's spokesperson is seen as part of a strategic reorganisation to strengthen Wiper ahead of the 2027 General Election.
