Former Vice President Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka political journey has not been a walk in the park. The Kamba political kingpin owes credit to two his friends; Paul Musili Wambua and his friend Caxstone Munywoki, who assisted him to win his first seat in parliament.
In one of his publications, Kalonzo reveals that the two believed in him and assisted him to become a member of parliament. He notes that the two pitched tents in different parts of Kitui North constituency to ensure that he achieves his goals. He also revealed that he was not financially stable to mount a strong campaign but the two supported him greatly.
“I ran a cash-strapped but energetic campaign at the heart of which were two young volunteers — Paul Musili Wambua and his friend Caxstone Munywoki. The two were then students at the University of Nairobi. Wambua was later to be my law partner and family friend. Wambua’s first contact with me was through the media when he saw a picture of me in the Daily Nation after I had won the Cyprus scholarship. He was in Form Three and he says I inspired him to study law at the university, he wrote.
It, however, remains unclear where the two went. Kalonzo has since expressed his interest in the nation’s top seat. He is expected to lock horns with Deputy President William Ruto when that time comes.
