While speaking during a Wiper Party convention in Matungulu in Machakos County, Sonko said,“I do not need to vie for the presidency. What I want to do is to help Musyoka, our elder brother move forward, to help you until you retire or you become old.”
He further added saying that he will mobilise his people the Sonko rescue team to campaign for Musyoka.
He also castigated the three Ukambani Governors Kivutha Kibwana (Makueni), Alfred Mutua (Machakos) and Charity Ngilu (Kitui) for what he said was disuniting the Kamba region.
“Unity is very important in any community. When Raila went to Nyanza with the president, I saw all Nyanza governors, MPs and MCAs,” said sonko.
In addition he said, “I request my colleagues to respect Musyoka. I will look for them because we must unite our community.”
Sonko’s sentiments come weeks after the the three Ukambani county bosses launched the People’s Empowerment Movement, a move that was interpreted to be geared towards reducing Kalonzo’s influence in the region.
Citing poor leadership experienced in the past years, the leaders vowed to stick together to change the narrative of leadership in the area.
Additionally Machakos County boss Alfred Mutua told off Kalonzo while Mombasa asking him to ditch his ambition of running for Presidency and support him instead.
He further claimed saying that Kalonzo was not fit to be the next president of Kenya considering that he is not yet decided on what he wants.
