Next week, Nyagarama will now his fate following a petition launched by his close competitor and Jubilee's candidate Walter Nyambati.

And the politician, who spoke in confidence because he is not allowed to speak on behalf of the party, said the CS is opposed to Jubilee poll petition.

"It is quite sad that when Jubilee is seeking justice, Matiang'i is out to sabotage us. He is working with ODM party against the party wishes," he said.

He further contended: "We have monitored his tours in the region and he has often spoken in support of the ODM governor."

Last week, at a funeral in Borabu, Matiang'i is said to have urged leaders to work with Nyagarama's administration.

But Matiang'is decision may have been informed by barbs targeting him by local Jubilee leadership, who claim that he is a 'tenant' in the region.
