Machakos Deputy Governor Bernard Kiala is no longer walking alone.
Kiala became more popular after the failure of his impeachment. The outspoken politician has remained loyal to Wiper Party leader Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka, who remains the most powerful politician from Ukambani.
Mutua will not have an easy day to defend his seat against the wave of Wiper party.
Kiala has proven beyond doubt that he cannot auction his people for his selfish interests. The people of Machakos love him because he speaks his mind and fights for what rightfully belongs to them.
As Mutua moves from one corner of the nation to another popularizing Maendeleo Chap Chap Movement, he should look for ways to counter Kiala before his boat capsizes.
Humility, honesty and sobriety are among the few words that can describe Kiala. The outspoken leaders was born and raised in Machakos. This means that he understands the needs of his people.
He has vowed to use his knowledge and skills to transform Machakos County into a corner of Paradise.
The soft spoken politician is out to correct the mistakes Mutua has made since he was elected as the first governor.
As other candidates are testing the waters, Kiala has made it clear that he wants to become the next county boss.
