Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka is likely to be endorsed as the Kamba 2022 presidential candidate in today's Kamba declaration meeting.
According to former Machakos Senator Johnson Muthama, today's meeting is important and will provide a way forward for the Kamba community moving forward.
Speaking to journalists in Machakos Town on Sunday, Muthama said that it is time the Kamba community to unite and strategize for 2022.
The former senator said that all Kamba leaders, elders, clergy, and locals have been invited to the meeting to take place in Matungulu constituency.
Muthama dismissed claims that the meeting is a Wiper party affair, adding that those spreading the claims are being malicious.
"We invited everyone and it is unfortunate that some people have already started to spread propaganda, " he said.
On Sunday, Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua said that his Maendeleo Chap Chap Party will not be part and parcel of the meeting.
Governor Mutua said that the meeting is a Wiper Party affair.
"How do they expect us to attend and be part of a meeting that is branded with their (Wiper party) colors," Mutua said on Sunday.
The Machakos governor added that he was not widely consulted on the planned today's meeting.
According to Matungulu MP Stephen Mule, the meeting is crucial for the Kamba community.
Mule says that unless they work together as a community, they will not ascend to top leadership.
"As the Kamba community we have no option but to bury our political differences and push forward together," Mule said on Saturday as quoted by a local daily.
Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka is eyeing the presidency seat in 2022 and today's meeting is a seen as a way of direct endorsement.
Governor Mutua is also eyeing the presidency in 2022 on his Maendeleo Chap Chap party.Mutua has been urging Kalonzo to shelve his bid and support him in 2022.
Majority of Kamba politicians, however, want Mutua to support Kalonzo in 2022.
