The sibling rivalry between the Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka and Makueni Governor Kivutha Kibwana over the control of Ukambani politics is likely to heat up after the Akamba Council of Elders endorsed the governor’s 2022 presidential bid.
The elders, led by their chairman Boniface Kilonzo and Secretary-General Davies Maeke, on Friday trooped to Kibwana’s residence in Wote town to check on him following a surgery he had in May. It was during the visit that the men drawn from the three Ukambani counties of Makueni, Machakos and Kitui made the declaration.
