Differences between Wiper Chairman Kivutha Kibwana and party leader Kalonzo Musyoka have escalated, with the former now claiming that the latter cannot be trusted to develop Ukambani. The differences started after Musyoka declared in November that he was willing to be President Uhuru Kenyatta’s ‘errand boy’.
To further the differences, Makueni Governor Kivutha Kibwana has called for an audit of Kalonzo Musyoka’s leadership since the death of Mulu Mutisya,the former most powerful political figure in Ukambani.
The three Governors of Ukambani are all not Wiper Members and are in open war with Kalonzo. Dr Mutua belongs to MCC Party, Charity Ngilu her party is NARC and Kivutha Kibwana belongs to MUUNGANO. Kibwana has today called for auditing and removal of Kalonzo as Ukambani leader.

According to Kibwana, Ukamabani needed to have a serious meeting of its leaders and people to take stock of what Musyoka’s leadership has achieved at the national level since the demise of Mutisya in 2004.
It was reported that a tough-talking Kibwana proclaimed in a statement, that the Wiper party leader was destabilizing Ukambani leadership and more so in the party.
Furthermore, the former Muungano Party leader accused the top leadership of undermining democracy in Wiper.
This comes after the Wiper party Deputy Organising Secretary Peter Mathukiaccused Kibwana, who is also the chairman of Wiper, of going into a self-voluntary exile.
“The culture of top leadership is of the thinking that must never be questioned. Those who offer constructive criticism are treated as people who have committed crimes against the apex party bosses,” he declared.
“You lead people by their consent in democracies not by chest thumping,” Kibwana affirmed.
“I have freedoms of association and expression and cannot be forced to do certain things by Mathuki and company,” he further reiterated.
