Speaking to the Sunday Standard newspaper, after returning from DRC Congo, Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka acknowledged the political headache troubling the country's big wigs ahead of the 2022 general elections.

Another name that has often been mentioned as a possible option for the Prime Minister's position is that of President Uhuru Kenyatta. According to the report by Sunday Standard, Uhuru already confirmed his interest in the position a few months ago.
"I don't know there are people claiming Uhuru Kenyatta wants to become the prime minister of Kenya. I wouldn't mind being in leadership in such a post, though let us deal with the current situation first,” he told Mt Kenya MPs in Sagana.
