Good morning,
It is on a chilly Thursday morning and the effects of ravaging floods continues to hit different parts of Nairobi City.
But even as floods take a toll, politics in the country continues to boil. Kalonzo Musyoka on Wednesday waddled in Mt Kenya politics, threatening to lead a nationwide protest should Githunguri MP Gathoni Wamuchomba be politically persecuted.
Kalonzo accused Rigathi Gachagua saying he sent police officers to chase him out of Kiambu County but he would never let that happen again.
Kalonzo advised Wamuchomba to stay put in UDA and lead the opposition internally within the ruling party. According to Kalonzo, his support for Wamuchomba meant UDA would fear subjecting the legislator to a disciplinary process.
He said he is the king of protests, and that he can protest from Githunguri to the rest of Kenya and force them out of power before their term ends.
Do you agree with Kalonzo? Will he make roots in the Mt Kenya region?
