Yatta member of parliament Francis Mwangangi Kilonzo has reprimanded Machakos Senator Johnstone Muthama for not supporting Wiper Party Patron Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka’s Presidential bid ahead of the next general polls.
Mwangangi, who was Speaking at a rally in Ikombe Yatta Constituency on Saturday, said that leaders from Ukambani will have enough reasons to blame if Kalonzo is not going to be named National Super Alliance(NASA) flag bearer.
“ Incase Kalonzo Musyoka is not the presidential candidate we will blame Muthama. As a community, we believe that Kalonzo is the best bet presidential candidate come the August 8, General Election,” said the legislator, as quoted by Standard.
The MP also faulted Muthama of pledging allegiance to Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (Cord) Leader Raila Amolo Odinga, adding that he is likely to cost Kalonzo in the race to unseat President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy William Ruto.“
Muthama’s eyes are just on Raila. "Muthama you may have personal scores with Kalonzo but you were chosen to that position to negotiate for the Wiper Party and the Kamba community as a whole. If Kalonzo misses it we will squarely put it on you,” he added.
Muthama was put on the spotlight after he skipped a meeting to push for Kalonzo’s candidature held in Emali.
