There is a Problem in Kambaland, a problem that is threatening to divide the Kamba Nation alongside Political Loyalties.
Who is the ultimate Political Kingpin from the region? This is the question many Kenyans and especially close followers of the Ukambani politics have been asking.
Is it Kalonzo or is it the new formed faction of Alfred Mutua, Kivutha Kibwana and Charity Nigulu ?(three governors who have joined forces to seemingly fight Kalonzo Musyoka)
The Kamba Nation, just like other Kenyan communities is focused of ascending to the Country’s top most seat, the Presidency and to achieve this, it will surely have to field a suitable candidate.
So far indications show that the region might produce three Presidential Candidates. That is Kalonzo Musyoka, Alfred Mutua and Kivutha Kibwana.
Alfred Mutua has already started building his support base and by all indications right now is hell bent on making it to the ballot.
The Governor said since Kalonzo has shown he is not interested in the presidency anymore in 2022, he should instead support him for the seat.
“I am now the only leader from Eastern region who has declared an interest in the presidency. The region should support me,” said Mutua.
There has been no love lost between Mutua and Kalonzo.
The Machakos Governor has teamed up with his Kitui and Makueni counterparts Charity Ngilu and Kivutha Kibwana to fight the former VP.
All, however, say there is nothing personal and they have no problems with each other.
On Sunday, Mutua said: “We have no problem with Kalonzo. We have a problem with politics of poverty.”
The three governors accuse Kalonzo of impoverishing Ukambani region over the years, for his own selfish benefits.
“It is easier to rule over the poor than the rich. I want to ensure the people in Ukambani are rich,” said Mutua on Sunday.
