He stated that residents have confidence in the Wiper leader.Kibwana thanked the Kamba community for voting for NASA in the recently concluded polls, saying that their loyalty to Kalonzo Musyoka will pay off.Professor Kibwana at the same time urged residents to ignore Kamba poll losers who on Monday declared support for Jubilee.Kibwana said that the losers are afraid of being in the political cold and are negotiating for power with Jubilee.He asked the poll losers to negate on their individual basis and not to use the Kamba community name to bargain for power.On Monday several Kamba leaders led by outgoing Kitui Senator David Musila said that they will work with Jubilee.The leaders who lost their various seats in the recently concluded polls said that NASA has nothing to offer the community after losing to President Uhuru Kenyatta.
