Deputy President William Ruto and United Democratic Alliance (UDA) allied MPs on Thursday released a statement after a well attended parliamentary group meeting at the Deputy President's Karen home.

The statement titled 'Kenyans Desire a New Inclusive People-Centred Conversation on the Future of our Nation' was signed by the over 100 elected leaders who were present at the event.

The first part of the statement which was read by Kandara MP Alice Wahome declared Jubilee dead and the Nasa coalition as having disintegrated.

"The Hustler Nation has found a new home in the United Democratic Alliance," the statement read by Hon Wahome read.

The signed statement decried the 'merger' of the ruling Jubilee Party and ODM after the handshake claiming it became the platform for 'unnecessary, arbitrary, selfish and unconstitutional attempt at changing the Constitution' that wasted taxpayer money.

It mentioned that 72% of Kenyans believe the country is headed in the wrong direction.

The 100 + politicians hailed the judiciary for stopping the Building Bridges Initiative proposed referendum claiming the process was a case of attempted vandalism of the constitution.

"For the past four years, we have consistently and repeatedly raised concerns and objections to Jubileeā€™s abandoning of its agenda and solemn commitments upon which it was re-elected in 2017," the statement in part read.

Nasa coalition partners and Jubilee collaborators were blamed by DP Ruto allies who claimed that they had taken the government agenda hostage.

The Hustler Nation then proceeded to break down their 'bottom-up' agenda which they believe will uplift 15 million Kenyans at the bottom of the pyramid.

At the tail end of the statement, Hon Aden Duale urged the government to roll out mass vaccination by January 2022.
