Machakos county is headed by Governor, Dr. Alfred Mutua who is serving his second and final term, Kitui county is headed by governor Chrity Kaluki Ngilu who is serving her first term after ousting former governor Mr. Malombe and Makueni county is headed by governor, professor Kivutha Kibwana who is serving his second and final term.
Kamba politics.
Kamba community have been led by Hon. Kalonzo Muyoka as their political Kingpin for more than two decades. However, things are now turning against the politician from Mwingi following upsurge of political rebellion from his backyard orchestrated by incumbent governors leading their respective counties. The governors are accusing their kingpin for lack of development conscious for their people for the long term he has enjoyed solid political support from his people.
⇛ The governors are complaining that their people do not have adequate water supply for domestic use and farming regardless of their own man(Kalonzo ) having served in Government for more than 15years.
⇛ The trio reserved that their community have been begging for food in every season that Kenya faces drought despite Kalonzo having served as vice president of Kenya for a whole term.
⇛The politicians are not happy by the manner in which Kamba community votes have been taken for granted by politicians from other communities without developmental reprisal.
⇛Kitui county where Kalonzo comes from has the poorest road network since independent and yet Hon. Kalonzo was once a minister and vice president.
⇛Ukambani has never gotten any government chartered University during Hon. Kalonzo reign until devolution came into being for them to conceive only Machakos University in Machakos for the whole Kamba nation and yet Kalonzo once served as minister for education.
⇛ Ukambani does not have any air strip amid their high population which translate into high votes during every political season.
⇛ Kamba nation never had any industry until devolution was conceived when governor Kivutha Kibwana installed company for Mango while Hon. Kalonzo for more than 2 decades did nothing for his people.
⇛ Hon. Raila Odinga has been in opposition for better part of his political career as compared with Hon. Kalonzo but Raila made sure that Kisumu and Luo nation as a whole are second in development index after Kikuyu nation. Kamba nation aught to have received more development features than any other land in the country because Kalonzo has worked with the all heads of state beginning with Moi.
Are the governors complaints justifiable???
In my opinion, I think the allegations the governors are making against Hon. Kalonzo are valid and must be resolved.
⇉Kitui county people used to suffer from drought and anger but when Ngilu came to power she solved the issue of water shortage within one year in office while Kalonzo did not bring home any water for 30years.
⇉When governor Mutua ascended to power he managed to upgrade Machakos hospital to level five referral Hospital with viable equipment and ambulances while Kalonzo left his people in the hands of quacks and herbal medics for 30 years.
⇉When Prof. Kibwana became the governor of Makueni the county residents had a company to worked and improved water, health, road network and education system. Kalonzo's time many schools did not have even class rooms and many schools were relying on dilapidated class rooms.
⇉Today Machakos county has real estates due to improved security and good main amenities in the region. During Kalonzo error visitors had to stop their journey in Nairobi and call it a day.
⇉Governor Charity Ngilu once swore that if she is elected Governor the people of Kitui will never beg for food and water again. Within one year she has proved her words and during the biting drought Kitui people were not among the Kenyans who were given relief food by red cross as people used to witness before. What is so special in Ngilu's reign that Kalonzo could not find in the last 30 years.
KALONZO is just a bad leader. Kalonzo should quite politics and give other people a chance with development minds to make Kamba nation compete with other communities.
