George Wajackoya’s running mate Justina Wamae has maintained that the Roots party is intact and will go all the way to the ballot.
Speaking in an interview with KTN News, just a day after saying that her boss was supporting Raila Odinga’s candidature and that she would go for the contrary if the need ever comes, Wamae said that she is not in any conflict with her boss despite the contradicting statements.
“As of now, my boss and I are not in any conflict, I respect my boss and I respect the direction Roots Party is taking to ensure that Kenyans see politics as a different thing of not being sycophants, you can raise your voice, we are in very good terms with my boss,” Wamae said.
Speaking about the contrary option that she had mentioned, she said that they were not intending to have that discussion. Reports had indicated that Wamae would have headed for William Ruto’s camp if her boss was for Azimio.
“Because we have not had this discussion, we are not intending to have this discussion as a party. So I am not going to say that we are not going in either direction because our agenda as the Roots party is to push the Roots party manifesto and this is very important. Remember the Roots party has spoken, prof is the man in the party who is consolidating the male voice but my role there is to amplify the voice of the women and the youth. I didn’t want them to be seen as page boys or flower girls.
According to her, she only made the comment about Wajackoya because she was compelled to do so and she did so in support of Wajackoya’s opinion
She added that her move paid as many people contacted her saying that she made a good move to raise her voice.
“What I did yesterday(Wednesday) was simply underpinning my boss’s view. My boss had given feedback, there was a party statement and we have been accused of being a project previously. So I represent a constituent of women and youth, and they were telling me if you keep quiet, you come out as a flower girl. So I had to put out my voice, and my boss was aware of it,” she explained.
Speaking about the moles in their party that Wajackoya had mentioned about earlier, Wamae said that they had decided to flow with them and not be aggressive towards them but they would not achieve what they are expecting.
