Kitui governor Julius Malombe has dismissed claims that Jubilee Party is making considerate inroads into Ukambani region.
Speaking in Mwingi North, the County chief asserted that the Kamba community will not be hoodwinked by last minute goodies to the community by the Jubilee administration, insisting that President Uhuru Kenyatta has already failed in delivering on his key pledges to the electorate in the run up to the 2013 general elections.
He further called on the Lower Eastern residents to rally behind the Opposition coalition NASA presidential candidate Raila Odinga during the forthcoming polls, noting that their interests are best represented in the outfit.
"Don't fall for bait. Let Jubilee use them but make sure we maintain our stands on the general election," he said.
"We cannot be used like that. Kalonzo is the only Kamba saviour and we should make sure he gets the top seat," he added.
Malombe also urged the locals to back Wiper Party candidates, arguing that the move will strengthen Kalonzo Musyoka's 2022 presidential bid.
"Anything outside Wiper should not be considered since it will weaken the party," he said.
