Makueni MP Daniel Maanzo is the latest politician to defend Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka’s "mtu wa mkono" [errand boy] remark.
Maanzo wants Kamba politicians to stop criticizing the former Vice President.
The Makueni MP says Kalonzo's critics should positively consider how his working closely with President Uhuru Kenyatta will boost his chances of becoming the president in 2022 instead of criticizing him.
Maanzo argues that Kalonzo stands to gain if he works closely with the President.
“I don’t agree with some of my colleagues who are bashing our party leader over the "mtu wa mkono" remark he made last week,” Maanzo said.
He addressed the press at Parliament Buildings in Nairobi on Wednesday.
The Wiper MP said it will be better for Kalonzo to be actively involved in governance instead of him being left out.
“I think Kalonzo's working with President Uhuru Kenyatta is good for him, Kenyans and the Kamba people,” he said.
Maanzo asked Kamba politicians to unite and push for Kalonzo’s presidency in 2022.
He said the Wiper leader is experienced enough to take over from President Kenyatta in the next polls.
