Although the PLP leader was also absent, a great view was set for Matiang’i due to its growing popularity and its influence in the spheres of opposition.

The absence of Matiang’i has continued to stimulate divisions negotiations as opposition leaders also failed to attend a meeting of members of the Jubilee party.

Hon Back:

“If this is the unity then Ruto leads early. ”

Steve Mkiki:

“The opposition will fall unless you unite and focus on important politicians like Dr. Fred Matiang’i. Putting him aside will cost them. Mr. Kalonzo Musyoka use diplomacy!”

Entuga Cyrus Ondieki Mweresa:

“If Matiang’i is not there it will never be called united opposition but is a visit to a confused opposition.”
