Kalonzo and Moi called on the Azimio Members of County Assembly (MCAs) not to waver in their support for the alliance\u2019s candidate Ken Ng\u2019ondi and remain steadfast and united in backing him for the Speaker\u2019s job adding that Ng’ondi was the best choice for the job basing on his experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They warned the MCAs against falling prey of being bribed by their rivals the Kenya Kwanza alliance schemes of buying out lawmakers from the Azimio side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKenya Kwanza has been notorious by using money to induce MPs to cross from Azimio to their side. Let\u2019s remain loyal to our party leader Raila Odinga and use the advantage of our numbers to fight for te control the county assembly so that we can pass and implement laws and policies that will make the Azimio manifesto a reality in the city,\u201d Kalonzo and Moi implored<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
