Machakos senator Johnson Muthama has said that he cannot leave Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka.
Speaking on Sunday, the Machakos Seator downplayed the talk that he had ditched his party leader but said that he has relocated to the capital city to tame Jubilee’s influence and ensure that NASA wins. It is said that top NASA leadership who are seeking full Kamba support in August to oust Jubilee influenced his move.
“In 1983, Mulu Mutisya told me to support Kalonzo Musyoka when I did not even know who he was. He won. We remained in KANU until we moved to LDP, later to ODM-K (now Wiper) and NASA. How foolish could I be to abandon him today?” Muthama quizzed.
The outspoken senator also said that in case he left Wiper then Kalonzo Musyoka will have to follow him. He has calmed the storm about his attacks on Wiper.
“If my first leg stepped out of Wiper, Kalonzo’s would be the second and if his (Kalonzo’s) one leg stepped out of Wiper, Muthama’s would be second,” he concluded.
This is good news to NASA running mate Kalonzo Musyoka who had to endure a rough time after Muthama disagreed with Wavinya Ndeti’s nomination after she ditched Chama Cha Uzalendo.
