Another miracle; Kalonzo does not have any job to offer. Even his is on the line.

Kalonzo meets Ojiambo and promises State job

Vice-President, Mr Kalonzo Musyoka and his running mate in last year¢s elections met for the first time since the poll results were announced.

Dr Julia Ojiambo led a team of officials from the Labour Party of Kenya to Kalonzo¢s Jogoo House office to discuss how they could benefit from Government appointments.

Ojiambo and Kalonzo fell out after the elections when ODM-Kenya failed to nominate her to Parliament. Party chairman, Mr Daniel Maanzo, was also not nominated. Instead, the party nominated Mr Mohammed Affey and Ms Shakila Abdalla.

Ojiambo was with the LPK Secretary-General, Mr Peter Kubebea, former Masinga MP, Mr Ronald Kiluta, and Dr Faith Muli, a parliamentary aspirant in the last election, among other officials.

She said she had no hard feelings against the VP over the nomination.

“I am politically strong and relevant and no one should write me off,” she told journalists after the meeting.

Ojiambo said her party had provided a safe landing for Kalonzo during the battle for the control of the Orange party and, therefore, deserved some Government appointments.

“We deserve some positions in the Government since we have individuals in our party who merit them,” she said.

She proposed that LPK and ODM-Kenya manifestos be harmonised and incorporated in the coalition.

Kubebea said the two parties should strengthen their grassroots¢ structures ahead of the 2012 elections.

Kiluta said the meeting with Kalonzo had eased tension between the two parties.

“Things are now in shape and we want to exploit the political mood for the good of our party,” he said.

Sources told The Standard that Ojiambo was promised a plum appointment in one of the parastatals. “Kalonzo acknowledged the role Ojiambo played during the elections and promised that a major appointment was set for her,” said the source, who sought anonymity.
