The second in command was replying to a video in which Kalonzo was hinting that he will in the same camp with president Kenyatta in the next 2022 general elections.
Kalonzo has been under attack by leaders from Ukambani region since making the declaration.
Former Machakos senator Johnstone Muthama Kalonzo for misleading the Community after he announced his undying support to President Kenyatta even beyond 2022.
The former Senator, who recently said that DP Ruto is best suited to succeed Uhuru, accused Kalonzo of auctioning the region for his own political ambitions.
He spoke during a Christmas service at the Light Christian Centre in Machakos town.
However, Machakos County governor Dr Alfred Mutua came out to dismiss both leaders, arguing that they don’t speak for the community.
Mutua took aim at Kalonzo saying he was incapable of securing the vote of Kenyans to be the next President and can only be a supporter of another person.
The governor also took a swipe at Muthama whom he claimed had been ‘busy waging the Kamba community to Deputy President William Ruto so that the Kamba voters become just supporters of others.
Mutua who spoke on Thursday in Machakos County insisted the Kamba nation is not for wager to the highest bidder.
With DP Ruto welcoming Kalonzo to Jubilee, who do you think Kalonzo will be working with come 2022?
