On Thursday (20th January) Deputy President William Ruto together with his hustler brigade toured Machakos county in a bid to popularize United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Party.
Johnson Muthama Nduya who is the chair of the UDA Party was accompanying DP Ruto and also drumming support for his gubernatorial bid. Muthama took the opportunity to trash Wavinya’s candidature by telling locals that she is not her equal and can’t campaign against her.
“I want to pleade with you my people because I always stood with you and defended you. Do you want to tell me I will come to campaign here and start crossing paths with Wavinya? Stop lowering my level.” Muthama urged the residents.
He also requested the residents that when his opponents come to them hunting for votes they ignore them.
“I want you to give me permission to go and ask for votes as the UDA chairman and when those people come here tell them that you are already supporting me,” Muthama said.
The Former senator added that health care was going to be a priority if he is elected and that he would make Kangundo level 4 hospital a level 5 Hospital. He added that small traders like Boda Boda, Mama Mboga, and hawkers will be exempted from taxes if he is elected as Machakos Governor in August.
Muthama also called upon Machakos residents as they support his gubernatorial bid to also support Deputy President William Ruto because he is the best choice for Kenyans.

Trashing Raila’s presidential ambition, Muthama stated that he has been supporting Raila but the Kamba community has never benefited from him and that in the coming elections the Kamba community will not support him.
“I have been supporting Raila but have never known the meaning of Tibim and Tialala but this time I won’t support the man of ‘vitendawili’ again,” he said.
Muthama assured DP Ruto that the Kamba community is rallying behind him and want to be in the next government.

The attendants began running for their safety while others went on top of chairs and tables in fear of the poisonous serpent.
However, a few minutes later, the snake was killed and people went back to their seats with the function resuming.
The meeting brings together leaders from the region, the clergy, youth, elders to chat the way forward for the community ahead of the August general elections.
Mavoko MP Patrick Makau has fired shots at UDA chairman Johnson Muthama for showing interest in vying for the Machakos gubernatorial seat.
Speaking at Uthini in Kangundo Subcounty, Makau said that the former senator had not worked when he was the MP for kangundo, and the works seen were done by other MPs not him.
“Even if it’s Muthama, I have never seen anywhere where Muthama worked, when 2013 Katatha and Mule were elected they are the ones who worked with the CDF, Muthama did nothing to the people,” he said.
“And if he was unable to work with 65 million that was given through CDF, how will he manage to do development with 12 billion in the County Government, when counting Governors don’t count Muthama, tell him to go and sell gemstones,” added Makau.
Makau who has declared his interest in the Machakos gubernatorial seat has been firing shots at other candidates terming himself as the rightful leader to take over Mutua.
Makau also said he influenced the appointment of Wavinya Ndeti as CAS and that of Florence Mwangangi as the Machakos County Assembly speaker. The Mavoko MP accused Wavinya of taking credit for projects in her ministry which commenced before she was appointed and lobbied by others. On Machakos Speaker Florence Mwangangi, Makau said she lobbied MCAs to vote for her so that she oversights Mutua
On the 29th of December 2021, Former Machakos Senator and UDA Chairman Johnson Muthama publicly declared that he will run for Machakos gubernatorial seat in the next year’s general election. Speaking at a function in Matungulu sub-county, Muthama said that many people were uncertain whether he is vying for the seat or not. He clarified that this time he was going to campaign for the seat like never before.
Mavoko MP Patrick Makau has watered down the gubernatorial bids of Machakos Speaker Florence Mwangangi and Transport CAS Wavinya Ndeti.
Makau who spoke while issuing bursary application forms in Mlolongo said he influenced the appointment of Wavinya Ndeti as CAS and that of Florence Mwangangi as the Machakos County Assembly speaker. The Mavoko MP accused Wavinya of taking credit for projects in her ministry which commenced before she was appointed and lobbied by others.
“You can ask Wavinya and you can ask Kalonzo, who proposed her to be CAS… it is me. We also said Mercy Mwangangi be given a CAS position because of the youth factor. That was in March 2020.” Makau said.
“We had worked in 2018 and 2019. I brought KURA to do Daystar road and other roads. When she stands to speak nowadays, she says ‘I’m CAS of Transport with 5 departments and the position is bigger than that of a governor.’ If the position you are holding is bigger why are you coming to compete with the people who proposed you to be appointed?.” Makau went on.
On Machakos Speaker Florence Mwangangi, Makau said she lobbied MCAs to vote for her so that she oversights Mutua.
“I paid my money to MCAs and took them to Stoni Athi to vote Florence Mwangangi as speaker. We wanted someone who could hold Mutua’s horns so that he works. She has felt the sweetness of county money and instead of supporting me because I stood with her, she is now running all over. She has never been elected anywhere.” Makau added.
The MP further asked Machakos County Police Commander to enforce the warrant of arrest on Deputy Governor Francis Maliti issued end of last year by the courts.
“He must be arrested and pay those young men and women their dues before he even comes to ask for the Governor seat. He has handled 60 billion as CEC Finance and he gives you only 500. Look at the roads at Gossip, police lane, and Syokimau. Here is your son (Makau) the most handsome man in East and Central Africa.” Makau said asking the locals to stand with him in the Gubernatorial race.
Makau asked Kalonzo to get Wavinya CAS job again and Florence Mwangangi another job.
Former Machakos Senator and UDA Chairman Johnson Muthama publicly declared that he will run for Machakos gubernatorial seat in the next year’s general election.
Speaking at a funeral in Matungulu sub-county, Muthama said that many people were uncertain whether he is vying for the seat or not. He clarified that this time he was going to campaign for the seat like never before.
“I hear you are saying I have never declared publicly that I will vie for Governor of Machakos come 2022. I want to declare today that I will vie for the seat and I will campaign like never before,” he said.
Muthama added that he was not after the seat for his own benefit rather he wanted to ensure that he works for the people of Machakos.
“I will not vie so that I buy cars, I will not do anything with the county resources rather I will ensure that I work and you see progress. I want you who come from Matungulu west ward and all other places in the county to write issues that you would like to addressed and I will act on them, “He added.
