Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua has said he will take legal action against Kalonzo for "mudslinging my name on allegations of murder and kidnap".
"Kalonzo took to the podium and addressed hundreds of people claiming I was involved in the kidnap of my deputy's child. I will take legal action so he can prove what he said in KIbwezi," he said in Kitui county.
Mutua said he will sue Kalonzo Musyoka for linking him to the alleged kidnap of Deputy Governor Benard Kiala's daughter.
"We cannot let leaders who have no agenda bring politics of intolerance and disrespect," he said.
Kalonzo said last Friday that police should question Mutua on the disappearance of Kiala’s daughter last Wednesday after she was reported missing and demands made for the Deputy Governor to drop his 2017 bid for Machakos governor.
