A day after asking Machakos Speaker Ann Kiusya, a section of Machakos MCAs from the minority side have told off Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka.
Kinanie/Mathatani Ward Francis Kavyu claimed that Kalonzo is serving the interests of Machakos Governor Wavinya Ndeti at the expense of the people of Machakos. He accused the Wiper leader of interfering in the County politics under the guise of resolving the standoff between the Executive and the County Assembly.
“Kalonzo has been pretending to help solve the standoff in Machakos, but it’s now clear he’s advancing Wavinya’s agenda. He should keep off Machakos politics and focus on national issues,” said Kavyu.
The outspoken MCA said it was now evident why counties in Ukambani continue to struggle, pointing fingers at Kalonzo’s involvement in local political disputes.
“Today, we’ve seen what truly ails our Counties. Kalonzo, your level is not engaging in ward-level power struggles. We now know whose interests you serve,” he added.
Kavyu defended Machakos County Assembly Speaker Ann Kiusya, insisting she would not be removed from office despite repeated attempts.
“You and Wavinya must understand, Kiusya is going nowhere. We are the ones who will decide what happens in this assembly. For three months, you’ve tried to impeach her without success. Bring it on,” he declared.
He warned that Kalonzo’s continued interference in local politics would harm his credibility as a national leader. “If Kalonzo is serious about his presidential ambitions, he should be in other Counties selling his manifesto and seeking votes, not micromanaging Machakos,” Kavyu said.
A furious Kalama MCA Boniface Maeke told off Kalonzo that Machakos is not Tseikuru and that no one voted for Kalonzo to be kingpin.
“What worries me is that a Presidential candidate is going to the level of talking about the Speaker. It is Wavinya who has sent him. When EACC comes to Machakos, you still defend Wavinya, and you are calling Ruto a thief.” Maeke said.
Speaker Kiusya was elected by MCAs, and she is non-partisan. Our speaker is a national leader as CAF chair, and you can’t deny her going to Statehouse or prayer breakfast. You think Machakos has fools, we will refuse to be controlled.” He added.
Kalonzo had earlier endorsed Kiusya’s impeachment, alleging she was a UDA mole and had failed to execute her duties effectively. Missed the story? Check it out below;
