Vice-President, Mr Kalonzo Musyoka flanked by Transport Minister Amb. Chirau Mwakwere, addresses journalists outside KICC, Nairobi, on Tuesday. _______________The Party of National Unity is ready for elections should the Cabinet talks collapse.
Vice-President, Mr Kalonzo Musyoka, said yesterday they would support the President should he dissolve Parliament and call fresh elections if the formation of the grand coalition failed.
Kalonzo said President Kibaki was ready to take a decisive action. "President Kibaki is ready to take the bull by the horns. The President cannot continue this way. We will support him even if he decides to dissolve Parliament," he said.
He said the President had been very patient and he would not allow the situation to drag on.
Kalonzo was speaking after chairing the Government Coalition Parliamentary Group meeting at the KICC. He took issue with ODM’s demand on portfolio balance and asked them to drop the pre-conditions.
The VP said the meeting underscored the "absolute need" for the country to forge ahead.
He exonerated ministers from claims that they were holding President Kibaki back for fear that they would lose their positions.
"Let nobody assume that by being in the Cabinet, it will give them an advantage to enrich themselves. They should be for servant leadership," he said.
Kalonzo also defended the Head of Civil Service, Mr Francis Muthaura, saying he was acting on instructions of the President
