A war of words has erupted between Machakos Governor Wavinya Ndeti and her predecessor and Labour Cabinet Secretary Alfred Mutua as Wavinya fights to stop an impeachment plot. The bitter fight comes as the two leaders fight for control of the vote-rich Ukambani region.
On Sunday, April 6, Wavinya, who is facing a threat of impeachment from Muthwani Ward MCA Dominic Maitha, who is allied to Mutua, fired a warning to the CS, accusing him of interference. "Mutua, you are not the governor of Machakos.
Leave Machakos alone and let me run my Machakos," the governor warned.
In a statement accompanying the impassioned speech, the governor declared that she would not be cowed by the CS's apparent efforts to influence the people of Machakos through external political influence.
