It seems Budalangi MP Raphael Wanjala has frightened previous MP Ababu Namwamba to a ridiculous degree.

This is after Namwamba rushed out of the Budalangi parliamentary race inspired by a paranoid fear of being crushed by Wanjala, who is currently the right-hand man of ODM Leader Raila Odinga in Western Kenya.

The Foreign Affairs Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS) presently joins a developing rundown of government officials who won't challenge for any elective seat in August 2022.

Talking during a meeting, Namwamba disproved reports suggesting that he will strive for a seat in the forthcoming General Election, adding that he expects to work intimately with Deputy President William Ruto to realize his official desires.

The CAS accepts that DP Ruto is the most appropriate to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta when the Head of State's term closes.

"I will be working intimately with Ruto to convey his administration. I accept he offers this country a crisp start.

"I accept this nation is at the cusp of another beginning that has a change in perspective in how the undertakings of Kenya can be made due," Namwamba expressed.

The CAS excused cases that he was supporting DP Ruto bearing in mind the end goal of being important for the group that will shape the following government.

"We have a political race to win and not entirely settled to win it by doing everything naturally allowed to have Ruto chosen the fifth leader of Kenya.

"After that whoever he chooses to work with and where will be is his privilege," he added.
