The relationship between Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua and former Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka went sour months after the former was elected the county boss.
Mutua immediately after his election in 2013, started accusing Kalonzo and his allies of frustrating his administration.
The two could not see each other face to face until September 18, 2016, when Mutua drove Kalonzo for one Kilometer before he boarded his plane back home from a burial ceremony.
Mutua later came out and said he had nothing personal against the former Vice President.
In December 2016, Mutua linked Kalonzo to land grabbing alongside former Machakos Senator Johnstone Muthama.
The governor said Kalonzo was among the leaders who had grabbed public land through unconstitutional means.
"We have cartels with strong political connections who finance brokers to invade public land with impunity," Mutua said.
In November the same year, Mutua had threatened to sue Kalonzo for linking him to the kidnapping of former Machakos Deputy Governor Bernard Kiala’s daughter.
“I will sue him for insinuating that I had something to do with the alleged kidnapping. It is unfortunate for a leader of his stature to go around making careless and unfounded utterances. That is unacceptable to me,” Mutua said.
