Kitui Governor Julius Malombe has warned the Akamba community against falling for Jubilee’s bait. He said that the community is and should remain firmly in National Super Alliance (NASA).
Malombe stated that the Akamba are fully supporting NASA presidential candidate Raila Odinga and community’s political point man Kalonzo Musyoka.
The governor assured Wiper supporters that NASA will solve the Ukambani problems and later help Musyoka ascend to presidency in 2022.
Speaking in Mwingi North at Tseikuru, Malombe said that the Akamba will lose if they do not support Raila Odinga’s candidature in August. He confirmed that a win for NASA in August is a win for Kalonzo in 2022. This warning comes after President Uhuru and DP William Ruto camped in the Wiper stronghold to get a share of the regional votes.
“Don’t fall for the bait, let them try but make sure we know our stand. We can’t be used like that, Kalonzo is the only Kamba savior and we should make sure he gets the top seat,” Malombe said as reported by the Star.
Malombe also urged residents to only vote for Wiper candidates to boost Kalonzo Musyoka’s national appeal. This is not good news to CS Charity Ngilu, NASA affiliate aspirants and independent candidates.
“Anything outside Wiper should not be considered because it will weaken the party,” he said.
