Kalonzo Pledges Loyalty to President Uhuru

Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka has reiterated his support for President Kenyatta, vowing to stick with him beyond 2022.

Musyoka, who spoke during a meeting with Kamba leaders at his home in Yatta, Machakos County, urged the residents to support the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI), noting that it will shape the future of Ukambani politics.

“I have made a resolution that I and the Kamba community are not flip-flopping and where Uhuru will be even after 2022, we will be there. We are now engaging everybody as free gear.”

“But our true direction is to support Uhuru. I have not spoken to Raila of late but I know his support for Uhuru till he finishes his term has not changed,” said Musyoka.

The meeting was attended by several elected and non-elected Kamba leaders but conspicuously missing were Governors Alfred Mutua (Machakos), Charity Ngilu (Kitui) and Kivutha Kibwana (Makueni). 

Kalonzo, who urged the leaders to unite if they intend to make progress in the Kenyan political arena, said Governor Mutua skipped the meeting due to fears about his security while Ngilu and Kibwana did not send their apologies. The three Governors have in the past threatened to oust Kalonzo as the Kamba political kingpin and lead the community in a different political direction.
