Nairobi Deputy Governor Jonathan Mweke has called upon Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka not to fail the Kamba community following his endorsement as National Super Alliance (NASA) Deputy President ahead of the forthcoming general polls.
Mweke, who spoke at a leaders’ meeting at the Machakos Sports Club last Friday, said that the Kambas have a lot of hope in the former vice president, adding that they are asking him to fight for their rights if the opposition forms the next government.
“You should not let us down. Kambas are behind you. We are your foot soldiers,” Mweke told Kalonzo, as quoted by the Star.
He also said that the entire Ukambani region is fully behind, adding that he has the blessings of the people as NASA seeks to dethrone President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy William Ruto from power in the forthcoming general polls.
“The whole of Ukambani recognises Kalonzo Musyoka as the leader of this community. We are sending him to State House as Deputy President in the NASA government with our blessings,” Mweke said.
The meeting was attended by several leaders including Governors Kivutha Kibwana (Makueni) and Julius Malombe (Kitui), Deputy Governor Jonathan Mweke (Nairobi), Makueni Senator Mutula Kilonzo Jr, Governor aspirant Wavinya Ndeti (Machakos) and her running mate Peter Mathuki.
The others who were also present were Narc leader Charity Ngilu, MPs Patrick Makau (Mavoko), Robert Mbui (Kathiani), Stephen Mule (Matungulu), MCAs and other aspirants.
