Thursday, September 12, 2024 - State House Spokesperson Hussein Mohamed has refuted claims that a section of Members of Parliament from the ODM party skipped a meeting convened by President William Ruto at State House.
This is after a local media house alleged that ODM
lawmakers skipped the meeting which was convened on Monday, raising concerns
over the broad-based government and the president’s relationship with ODM
Leader Raila Odinga, considering that the meeting came after Ruto’s working
tour of Nyanza.
However, in a swift response,
the State House spokesman claimed that the reports were not true.
According to Hussein, the
president hosted a section of lawmakers at State House for an informal lunch
after inspecting an affordable housing project in Nairobi.
He noted that the State House
lunch meeting was not a formal one, as reports suggested.
"On Monday, 9th September
2024, President William Ruto inspected the progress of the 4,054-unit Kibera
Soweto East Zone B Affordable Housing Project in Nairobi County.
"After the event, the MPs
in attendance accompanied the President to State House for an informal lunch.
There was no formal meeting as suggested," Hussein explained.
He further added that the State
House communicates or invites MPs or any other individuals and groups through
official channels only.
After the meeting on Monday, Ruto was pictured with some ODM leaders at State House, Nairobi, including Makadara MP George Aladwa.
