Machakos County Senator Johnson Muthama will face MCC’s Henry Kioko who has vowed to dethrone the former. Kioko compared himself to the biblical David who floored the giant Goliath. However, many see this as a continuation of the perennial supremacy wars between the governor and his senator.“I get into this as David and we are confident of flooring Goliath,” Kioko said.Muthama is also crafting the fall of Mutua through Bernard Kiala. There is also a battle between NASA affiliate Wiper and MCC which is supporting President Uhuru’s re-election.The Maendeleo Chap Chap gubernatorial hopeful emphasized on people’s unity. He promised to provide the missing link in Machakos politics.“Every experience is about solving problems and bringing people together and building consensus. That is what is missing in politics today and the type of leadership that Machakos needs. I think voters are pained by the dysfunction by the role of senate. They want change and I represent the change they need,” Kioko said.The August 8, will determine who is superior between the two county bulls. Whether it will be Mutua with his development record or Muthama with the backing of former vice president Kalonzo Musyoka; voters have the final say.
