The reason for Kalonzo-Mutua Fallout exposed with a sudden “Worshiping of Uhuru”

Have you ever asked Why Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka and Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua don’t see eye to eye?

The people who used to be friends are now greatest enemies politically. But the reason for their fallout dates back when Kalonzo was the Vice President in President Mwai Kibaki’s administration.

Reason for the fallout

Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua told the Senate committee on County Public Accounts and Investments on November 30, 2016 that Mr Musyoka had used his position as vice-president to influence the allocation of 500 acres of NYS land in Yatta, Machakos, to himself and proxies.

He also wrote to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission, National Land Commission and the Commission on Administrative Justice to have the matter investigated.

Mr Musyoka has since denied the claim with former Lands Cabinet Secretary Charity Ngilu, now Kitui Governor, coming to his defence.

Article 135 of the Constitution however requires the President to issue instructions of such nature in writing, complete with his signature and a seal.

Sudden Worshiping of President Uhuru Kenyatta

Most political analyst have said that Kalonzo is worshiping President Uhuru Kenyatta. Just few days he appeared on TV pouring lots of praise for him.

But why is the real reason for this worship?

Sometimes last year the President asked those who acquired land illegally to return them or the state will repossess them.

“Land previously owned by NYS will be returned to the institution for active programmes that will help the youth in employment. The State will put all resources at its disposal to ensure that NYS succeeds in this,” the President said.

Does it mean that Kalonzo is trying to protect the illegally acquired land?
