By Judy Jerono
The former Churchill show Comedian Jasper Muthomi aka MC Jessy has narrated how DP tricked him with campaign job.
Jessy said that during the meeting at the DP’s Karen office which he attended together with his competitor, the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Party leader William Ruto appealed to them to settle on one candidate through consensus where Jasper said they agreed to continue with negotiations at a later date.
MC Jessy said that they had not reached conclusion only to realize the Deputy President in his statement claiming that Jessy had stepped down in favour of his competitor Mwiti Kathaaraa in Imenti South parliamentary race.
"I went there knowing that I was the prominent aspirant, I had even told the people that we were going for nominations. Maybe the mistake I made was to accept dialogue.

"I did not stand there to admit that we had agreed to step down, when people visit Ruto's residence they take photos and the information about me stepping down was shared later on social media platforms. That was not what we agreed," Jesse insisted.
DP Ruto had announced that MC Jessy had stepped down in favour of Kathaara and that he will join his presidential campaign.
"MC Jessy will join the presidential campaign team after postponing his parliamentary bid in favour of Mwiti Kathaara for the South Imenti Seat,” Ruto posted on his social media handles.
Jessy pointed out that he did not accept to step down for Kathaara. He opted to vie as an independent candidate after consultation with his supporters who advised him to take another step after being duped by the DP.
"The lesson I have learnt is to never trust a politician. And avoid confiding people about your political moves, you never know what they do with it," MC Jessy said
