Kamba Elders Break Kalonzo Musyoka's Heart By Reading Him This Riot Act

A section of Ukambani leaders have rallied support for President Uhuru Kenyatta and asked the community to withdraw their support for the opposition.

Speaking during separate events in Machakos county on Thursday, Kamba clan governing Council of Elders and politicians allied to Jubilee Party asked Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka to leave the opposition.

CoE chairman Boniface Kilonzo held a press conference at a Machakos Hotel on Thursday.

The elders said it is high time residents consider backing Jubilee, especially following the withdrawal of opposition leader Raila Odinga from the presidential rerun scheduled for October 26.

Kilonzo Raila to stop his calls for mass protests across the country, saying they are a recipe to chaos and insecurity.

“The call for demonstrations is not in good faith because they are meant to cause chaos and destruction of property and cause insecurity. This is economic sabotage, which is punishable in law,” he said.

He termed Raila’s withdrawal from the presidential contest “insincere and in pursuit of selfish interests”. “The only path to leadership is through the ballot,” he said.
