Yatta MP Charles Kilonzo has hailed Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka for agreeing to support and work with President Uhuru Kenyatta's government.
Kilonzo says that Kalonzo's move is good for the Kamba community.
Speaking to journalists at Parliament Buildings in Nairobi on Monday, Kilonzo said that Ukambani now stands a chance to fully benefit in terms of development projects.
"Kalonzo Musyoka has done a good thing by agreeing to support and work with the ruling government," he said.
Kilonzo said that Ukambani has suffered for years supporting the opposition.
"We are happy that our leaders are now in government and we now stand a big chance of progressing in terms of development," he said.
The MP asked elected leaders in Ukambani to work together and push the region's development forward.
"We must now unite and bring our people together for the sake of development," he said.
On Saturday, Kalonzo's party resolved to fully support President Kenyatta's government development agenda.
The Party through its National Executive Council (NEC) said that it supports the March 9 handshake between President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Odinga.
The Wiper Party also pledged to support Jubilee government's war against corruption.
Deputy President William Ruto has also lauded Kalonzo's move, saying it is good for the country's unity.
