Kalonzo answers Ukambani governors in region’s supremacy battle

Former vice president Kalonzo Musyoka has called on three Ukambani governors who have been at loggerheads with him to go slow and play within the rules.

The wiper leader was referring to Makeni, Machakos and Kitui governors in his remarks who skipped a Kamba leaders’ convention at Kiamba Primary School in Matungulu, Machakos county, on Friday.

“They are part of us; they have a legitimate right to contest any political seats they wish to, so long us they play within rules of the game,” he said.

“They should not attack people, everyone has a constitutional right to contest for any position.”

Kalonzo cautioned that no leader should incite his or her supporters against another leader.

He said he is still committed to ensuring that the Kamba nation is united.

“We are committed not only to unite Ukambani but the entire country,” said Kalonzo.

Kalonzo denied claims he has been inciting Ukambani MCAs against their respective governors.

A group of Ukambani leaders vowed to push for Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka’s presidency in 2022.

“This nation knows and we all know that Kalonzo Musyoka is the Ukambani kingpin. We will put all our efforts behind him to ensure that he gets to State House,” Matungulu MP Stephen Mule said.

Former Machakos Senator Johnson Muthama said the meeting was not a Kamba, but Kenyan affair.

“We have been brought here by all Kenyan communities; it all started when we were at the party leader’s father’s burial,” he said.

Muthama stated that the meeting was a formal declaration that as the Kamba community, there is nobody who can oust Kalonzo from the kingpin post.
