Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has made his stand on a wide range of political issues following recent reports of a fallout between NASA principals who have taken opposing stand on various issues.

Musyoka expressed support for the Building Bridges to a New Kenya Initiative led by Raila Odinga and President Uhuru Kenyatta, welcoming the spirit of the handshake, national dialogue and reconciliation in the country.

The Wiper Party boss divulged that he is on a special mission to promote unity, joining President Kenyatta and Raila Odinga and is ready to meet anyone who cares to meet him over the same.

"I am ready to meet anyone including retired presidents Daniel Moi, Mwai Kibaki and Mama Ngina Kenyatta," Musyoka said.

The wiper party leader also endorsed the push for constitutional amendments and a referendum championed by Raila.
