Published on January 4, 2020, the rivalry between Wiper Party Leader Kalonzo Musyoka and former Machakos Senator Johnstone Muthama has reached a boiling point.
Former Yatta legislator Francis Mwangangi has urged the Kamba council of elders to intervene in the political rivalry, warning that the ongoing war of words will have far-reaching implications for the region in the 2022 elections.
Mwangangi, the Chama Cha Uzalendo (CCU) deputy party leader, called on the elders to convene an urgent meeting to reconcile the warring leaders before the situation goes out of hand.
“I call upon the two leaders to sacrifice their personal interests for the bigger picture of the community’s political stability,” Mwangangi said.
He cautioned allies of the Kamba leaders to desist from fuelling enmity and instead work towards reconciliation for the sake of the region’s political stability.
“Right now other communities are busy strategising how to be part of the next government after Uhuru’s exit and we should also start doing the same,” he added.
The former MP urged the council of elders to broker unity among the two leaders and work towards bringing stability to the whole Kamba community.
