Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua and former senator Johnson Muthama are not seeing eye to eye.
The two Kamba politician’s once political friends before the 2013 general election has remained political nemesis showing their differences even in public.
Muthama and Mutua fell out just after the 2013 general election with the Machakos governor accusing the former senator of frustrating his leadership.
Governor Mutua has often accused Muthama of criticizing his government and failing to provide the needed support for development.
Muthama, on the other hand, has often attacked Mutua claiming that the Maendeleo Chap Chap party leader lacks leadership qualities.
Muthama and Mutua five year leadership (2013-2017) as Machakos leaders was full of drama and wrangles. Governor Mutua even claimed that the former senator was the reason to why he quit the Wiper party.
He (Mutua) even warned Wipe leader Kalonzo Musyoka against the former senator.
In the run-up to the 2017 general election, Muthama declared that he was not going to contest for any seat so long as Governor Mutua was seeking re-election to be governor.
He (Muthama) said that he cannot stand working the with governor Mutua or having a meeting with him in one room.
Muthama led fierce campaigns against Mutua’s re-election as he backed former Kathiani MP Wavinya Ndeti’s bid.
Political analysts argue that Mutua-Muthama rivalry might not end any time soon.
Mutua has declared an interest in the 2022 presidential seat as Muthama says he is not interested in acting for politics as for now.
