[Photo: Nasa coalition]Nasa presidential running mate Kalonzo Musyoka has fired at President Uhuru Kenyatta, and his deputy William Ruto, after they mockingly attacked him, calling him to their camp.According to the two, Kalonzo is being duped by the Nasa leader Raila Odinga, in his bid to be Kenya's fifth president, deputised by Kalonzo.They said Kalonzo's Ukambani region had received no development despite the two being in power for many years.Speaking in Makueni, Uhuru and Ruto asked Kalonzo to leave Raila and deputise Ruto in his 2022 presidential bid, so as to develop the country including the people of Ukambani.However, the Wiper party leader did not take this lightly. In his message shared by ODM Director of Communications Philip Etale, Kalonzo hit back at Uhuru, saying his Kiambu home has received nothing ever since he came to office.Below is Kalonzo's message to Uhuru."Ironically, even as the President and his deputy launched a tirade of attacks against me, his own Gatundu backyard fares no better than most parts of Ukambani and other rural areas of Kenya in general. Abject poverty, characterized by debilitating jigger menace, as well as alcoholism and drug abuse, pervade the area that so far prides itself in having produced two Presidents of this country -- his father Jomo Kenyatta, and Uhuru himself.~ H.E Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka, NASA Deputy Presidential Candidate"
