Activist Boniface Mwangi has expressed his belief that the Members of Parliament (MPs) who defied their party's stance to support President William Ruto under the Azimio movement will eventually betray the head of state as well.

Mwangi's comments came in response to a list of MPs who visited President Ruto at State House in Nairobi on Tuesday.

The activist asserted that a traitor will always remain a traitor and cautioned Ruto against assuming that he will always have the unwavering support of these MPs.

"Those who betrayed their voters and party for a few coins will betray Ruto as well. Once a traitor, always a traitor," Mwangi tweeted on Wednesday.

The opposition politicians who have been making visits to State House claimed that their purpose was to bring development to their respective constituencies.

However, Mwangi argued that MPs should not have to visit State House to secure development opportunities. He emphasized that Parliament approves the government's spending of taxpayers' money each fiscal year, and this is not determined by who has visited the President.

"Parliament approves how the government spends our taxes. Parliament, not the President," he clarified.

He further stated, "The government will not fail to release Constituency Development Fund (CDF) money because you're in the opposition."

To illustrate his point, Mwangi cited examples of Governors elected under the Azimio ticket who have received development allocations without switching political allegiance.

"The governors who were elected on Azimio's ticket are performing just fine, even without supporting Ruto," he remarked.

While acknowledging that it is within individuals' rights to support whomever they choose, Mwangi criticized the act of betraying the people who elected them and then lying about the reasons behind their actions.

He also suggested that the Speakers of the Senate and National Assemblies should have declared the seats of MPs who defied the Azimio stand as vacant.

Mwangi directed his criticism towards Ruto as well, questioning his previous statements about wanting a strong opposition while simultaneously recruiting opposition politicians into his camp.

"Why is he then wasting time and money 'buying' opposition politicians?" Mwangi questioned. "But maybe Ruto doesn't want that. He wants a rubber-stamp parliament."
