Narok leaders have dismissed calls by Opposition leader Raila Odinga to join Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (Cord).
Speaking just a day after Raila wooed them during a funeral at Esupetaiin Narok South, the leaders said their push for accountability from Governor Samuel Tunai should not be mistaken as discontent in the ruling Jubilee coalition.
MPs Korei Ole Lemein (Narok South) and his Narok West counterpart Patrick Ntutu said the issue of party has not arisen but will be pushing for the rights of people from within.
Others who dismissed Raila’s call are URP National Deputy Secretary Leah Ntimama and Narok Central Business Organization chairperson David Sankok.
They termed Cord leadership as opportunists who are out to reap from the discontent in Narok.
“Let it be clear that we are not about to defect. We do not want to mix issues here. We are in URP and our supporters should not be alarmed at all,” said Lemein.
Ntimama said the differences being witnessed currently between the MPs and Tunai is not about the party but about the rights of the Maasai community.
