Fiery Cherangany legislator Joshua Kuttuny confirmed that they would be taking the battle right at the doorstep of the leader of the Tangatanga faction who has been fighting the president through his proxies.
"We know who has been fighting the president through proxies; we know who has been undermining the president; we know the enemy, and we shall be meeting with that at the back of our minds," Kuttuny stated.

Kitutu Chache South MP Richard Onyonka slamd the DP for his actions andquestioned the competence of his advisers.
"He can't continue frustrating his boss, especially on BBI, which is unstoppable. I wonder who advises him. It could be that he likes hanging around young guys who will do nothing but nod their heads to whatever he says as they nourish their pockets," Onyonka stated.
