Makueni Town MP Daniel Maanzo has defended Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka against claims that he is to blame for Ukambani’s poor development record.
Maanzo said Kamba politicians attacking Kalonzo for allegedly failing to spearhead development are playing politics.
He said Kalonzo’s leadership has led to various development projects in Ukambani.
Speaking to journalists in Makueni Town on Monday, the Wiper MP said Kalonzo spearheaded connections of electricity, water, among other key projects in the region when he served as Vice President (VP).
Maanzo said Kalonzo is being fought for having declared an interest to contest in 2022 presidential election.
“We had massive projects especially on electricity and water spearheaded by Kalonzo when he served as VP and it is wrong to equate him to Ukambani’s poverty,” Maanzo said.
He asked Kamba politicians to respect Kalonzo and stop inciting residents against him.
The Wiper Mp said Kambas have confidence in Kalonzo who remains the region's presidential flag bearer in 2022.
Maanzo asked Ukambani governors Charity Ngilu (Kitui), Kivutha Kibwana (Makueni) and Alfred Mutua (Machakos) to champion for development in their respective counties without insulting the Wiper leader.
