The Kamba community dreamed of Wiper Party Leader Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka becoming Kenyans president after August 8, 2017, general elections.
The leaders from this region were divided after he accepted to become former Prime Minister Raila Amolo Odinga’s running mate for the second time under NASA coalition.
The former Vice President had earlier on said that he will go for the nation’s top seat and nothing less.
When he was named as Raila's running mate, a section of Kamba leaders said that the Wiper leader had been given a raw deal.
The leaders led by the late Francis Nyenze insisted that Kalonzo should have bolted out of NASA. The latter changed tune after 'consulting widely'.
“Our eyes as a community are now firmly fixed on 2022. We know that Raila will not be on the (presidential) ballot and it will be our turn. We expect the other NASA luminaries to support Kalonzo for the presidency. There should be no other way,” Governor Kibwana reiterated after they met severally.
Kalonzo has since then been seen as a coward after he failed to take the oath of office alongside Raila at Uhuru Park on January 30, 2018.
The Kamba political kingpin has said that he will go for the nation’s top seat when that time comes. Everyone is watching to see whether he will mean his word.
