Kega was among a group of elected leaders who held talks with the President at State House, Nairobi.

East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) MP Kanini Kega has spoken minutes after images of him together with other Jubilee elected leaders met with President William Ruto and his deputy Rigathi Gachagua.

The meeting held at State House on Monday morning came on the very day Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Alliance has staged a major rally at Kamukunji grounds.

In a statement after the meeting, Kega said:

"A leader must lead and do what is good and beneficial to his people. Hosted by HE President William Ruto and The Deputy President HE Rigathi Gachagua at Statehouse today," Kega wrote on Facebook.

Kega was among a group of elected leaders who held talks with the President at State House, Nairobi.

MPs who attended the meeting are David Kiaraho (Ol Kalou), Irene Njoki (Bahati), Zachary Kwenya (Kinangop), Shadrack Mwiti (South Imenti). 

Nominated MP Sabina Chege and her EALA counterpart Kanini Kega were also present. 

Others who also there are MPs Mark Mwenje (Embakasi West), Amos Mwago (Starehe), Daniel Karitho (Igembe Central), Stanley Muthama (Lamu West) and Joseph Githuku (Lamu).

The meeting is a signal of a possible defection to Kenya Kwanza side, a move that could likely deal a blow to Raila Odinga.
