Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua has said that he is concerned by the exclusion of his party from the Azimio-One Kenya Alliance coalition's leadership structure.
In a tweet on Thursday, the Maendeleo Chap Chap party leader said some parties in the coalition have two representatives in the structure yet his party among others have none.
Mutua questioned whether this was a sign of things to come when the Raila Odinga-led coalition wins elections.
"To Kenyans who have been asking me why some of the parties in @AzimioUmoja have multiple positions in the 2 gazetted structures while others such as @MCC_Party don’t have a single representative, and whether this is a sign of things to come when we win elections, I am also quite concerned," the governor tweeted.
His remarks came shortly after President Uhuru Kenyatta chaired the first Azimio-OKA Council meeting at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) in Nairobi.
Other leaders who attended the meeting are Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho, Narc Kenya party leader Martha Karua, Kanu chairman Gideon Moi, Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka, Kanduyi MP Wafula Wamunyinyi, Taveta MP Naomi Shaban and Kitui Governor Charity Ngilu.
In April, Mutua while addressing an MCC aspirants meeting said he had no trust left in the Azimio - One Kenya Alliance Coalition or any of the documents signed in its creation and the party would devise a way forward.
"To tell you the truth from where I stand as your party leader, I have lost faith in whatever document is coming out of here. I cannot trust. I do not know what they have or will deposit in the document," he said.
Eight fringe parties that are members of Azimio had previously threatened to walk out if their grievances were not addressed.
Among the issues raised by the 8 parties was the inclusion of the fourth pillar in the alliance, something the OKA team protested.
The parties later met Azimio leader Raila Odinga and the issues raised were solved.
