Is Kalonzo Still the Kamba Nation Kingpin?

The Wiper leader’s domination of Ukambani politics is under threat as three governors have been positioning themselves to take over.

Back in his backyard, a rebellion is brewing. Kitui governor Charity Ngilu, Makueni’s Kivutha Kibwana and Machakos’s Alfred Mutua have teamed up to oppose his leadership.

Kibwana and Mutua are serving their last terms as governors.

“Going forward, we’ll speak with one voice to unite the community and negotiate directly with the national government on issues affecting our region,” the three declared on Wednesday, opening a new political battlefront in Ukambani.

The trio have however faced a backlash from Kalonzo loyalists with the latest one being Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko.

According to the Capital City boss, those opposing or fighting Kalonzo are fighting a dead fight as Kalonzo still enjoys massive support back home and is the undisputed Kamba Kingpin and National leader.

I”some leaders are fighting a losing battle. Do not underrate Kalonzo he is still the Kamba kingpin and a national leader,” said Sonko.


Kalonzo’s allies have also in the past warned that Ngilu,Kibwana ana Mutua were digging their political graves. MPs Gideon Mulyungi (Mwingi Central), Musili Mawathe (Embakasi South), Joshua Mbithi (Masinga), Mulu Makali (Kitui Central), Patrick Makau (Mavoko) and Kitui senator Enock Wambua rallied behind him.

In what they called the Mavoko declaration, the leaders said Kalonzo remains the Ukambani political kingpin. They pledged to support his presidential bid.

The lawmakers dared Kibwana to quit Wiper and seek a fresh mandate on his Muungano Party ticket “if he is man enough”.

“There is nothing those governors are doing.  The governors’ unity is to squander public funds, which they don’t want Wiper MCAs to question,” Mbithi said.

He dismissed the trio as having no political clout to mount a serious State House bid.
