Foreign affairs nominee Alfred Mutua.

Foreign Affairs Cabinet nominee Alfred Mutua on Monday spoke about the collapsed agreement he signed with the Azimio la Umoja coalition before decamping to Kenya Kwanza. 

He painted a picture of a deal that was marred with 'tricks and games'.

"We signed a document in good faith and what was attached in that document is not what we were shown, it was totally different," he said.

He spoke on Monday while appearing before the National Assembly Committee on appointments at Town Hall, Nairobi. 

He said he signed documents whose content he knew nothing about. Mutua said the outfit had people who were not genuine prompting his exit to Kenya Kwanza. 

"What was deposited at the Registrar of Political Parties when we later found out there was a different document than the one we had actually signed which is called 'utapeli' and it was one of the reasons I chose to leave Azimio."

Mutua claimed the political agreement was scuttled by some few selfish individuals who wanted to ruin the Azimio coalition.

"I saw deceit and I could not really match what was happening and I don't believe it was entire Azimio. I believe it is a few people who were playing games and were ruining it for the Azimio team that was really committed to fostering ahead," he said.

Mutua ditched Azimio in May 2022 and joined President William Ruto's Kenya Kwanza camp which eventually won the August 9 polls. 

He said the agreement signed between Kenya Kwanza and his Maendeleo Chap Chap party was transparent and he did not feel sidelined like was with Azimio. 

He said the Azimio coalition favoured some political parties leaving others like MCC in the dark.

Mutua said MCC believes President Ruto is the best to liberate Kenyans from the yoke of poverty.
