Is Kivutha Kibwana really out to undermine his party leader Kalonzo Musyoka?

The governor has lately been in the headlines for apparently trying to scuffle Kalonzo’s 2022 Presidential bid with a section of Ukambani leaders urging him not to burn bridges by going against Kalonzo.

The governor has now come out to refute claims that he is out to divide the Kamba Community.He has said he has no intentions of splitting the Kamba community.

Kibwana has said that the fact that he differs with Kalonzo in terms of ideologies does not in any way show that he is trying to fight the Wiper party leader.

“I won’t be forced to support things I feel are not right. Not sharing the views of another leader doesn’t mean you are fighting them. I’m not dividing Kambas, I can’t wish for such a thing to happen,” Kibwana said.

Kibwana said since his youth he has been known to speak his mind, and he is not about to change that now that he has grown old and more experienced.

“Those who know me, more so during the Moi [Daniel] regime, if I felt something was not right I would say it even if it meant being killed,” he said.

“Now at 64, no one should expect me to change, when things are not right I will always say because that’s who I am.”

The Governor said he will only support ideas that will develop the region and is not bothered by his critics.

“I have heard some leaders like Kitui senator Enock Wambua and Mwingi MP Gedion Mulyungi attack me. But what they need to know is that I will not be forced to supporting things. Economic development of our people should be our priority,” Kibwana said.

He said three governors from Ukambani want to strengthen the South Eastern Kenya Economic Block. He asked other leaders from the region to focus on.

Kibwana said county governments will work with the national government without seeking permission from the party.

“We won’t ask permission to work with the President. Our ‘handshake’ is direct,” he said.

Kibwana was speaking Yesterday at Nziu Primary School on Wednesday during Jamhuri Day celebrations.
