"I was vying for Governor on a DAP-K, and the agreement was after I joined Barasa who is in ODM, the agreement is not a secret its at the Registrar of Political Parties," Savula stated.

"If he chooses a County Minister I choose the Chief Officer and so on... So its nothing new, even Uhuru and Ruto had a similar agreement," he said.
