Wednesday February 27, 2013 - The Kenyan DAILY POST can now report that former government spokesman Alfred Mutua, who is a senior member of Coalition for Reform and Democracy (CORD), is campaigning for Uhuru Kenyatta’s Presidential bid in Ukambani.
Credible sources within Mutua’s circles, who is eyeing the Machakos County governor seat on a Wiper ticket, indicated that during yesterday’s tour of Prime Minister Raila Odinga in Ukambani, Mutua skipped the rallies as he was in his hometown drumming support for the son of Jomo.
The sources said Mutua, who is a close of ally of Uhuru Kenyatta, has been camping in Machakos County for more than one month campaigning for Uhuru Kenyatta.
A resident of Machakos town admitted to the Kenyan DAILY POST that there is a clarion call in Ukambani to vote their “in-laws” for the President.
“In Ukambani the clarion call is that hapa Chini Patia Wiper kule Juu tumpatie Muthoniwa - meaning in laws,” the resident said.
A CORD insider also told the DAILY POST that Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka and immediate former Kangundo MPJohnstone Muthama are not in speaking terms as they blame each other for the loss of the Kamba vote to Uhuru/Ruto.
He says there may be a “big surprise” in Ukambani on Monday due to Uhuru Kenyatta’s soaring popularity in an area perceived to be Kalonzo Musyoka’s backyard.
