Former Machakos senator Johnson Muthama has said that the Kamba community must unite and push a common agenda or forget about wining 2022 presidential election.
Muthama argues that the community can only ascend to top leadership if its leaders show unity of purpose.
Speaking to residents in Kangundo Town on Sunday, Muthama said that the community has able leaders who have the experience to lead the country.
“Our main problem as Kambas is that we are not united and have allowed ourselves to be easily manipulated by other people,” he said.
The former senator said that Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka's bid for 2022 could be made easy if they unite and work together.
He said that Kalonzo is experienced and is the only Kamba politician who has a chance of winning the presidential election.
Muthama said that Kalonzo will have to go out of his way and make friends with his political enemies in Ukambani if his dream of the presidency in 2022 is to come true.
The former senator exuded confidence that NASA leader Raila Odinga will endorse Kalonzo’s 2022 bid.
“I know Raila very well and he will stand with Kalonzo so long as the reforms and justice agenda is achieved,” he said.
There are claims that Raila might trash the agreement he signed with Kalonzo in 2017 after failing to win the presidential election.
A section of Kamba politicians have been rallying Kalonzo to dump Raila in order to keep his 202 presidential bid alive.
Kalonzo has been under criticism in the recent past with politicians allied to Raila’s ODM party questioning his commitment to NASA agenda after he skipped Raila’s inauguration as the people's president on January 30.
On Saturday, when he attended Siaya senator James Orengo’s uncle burial, Raila was quoted saying that people close to him are about to betray him.
The former Prime Minister went on to ask his supporters to brace up for tough times ahead in regards to the push for electoral reforms and justice.
Kalonzo’s party delegates will convene in Nairobi on March 16 to discuss on the party's future in the NASA coalition.
