About 100 political hopefuls in Ukambani have declared they will run on the Jubilee ticket. The leaders took issue with Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka’s claim that no Kamba will join the Jubilee Party. They said Musyoka, who made the comment during a rally in Kitengela on Saturday, should know every Kenyan has a right to belong to any political party she or he chooses. Former Kibwezi MP Kalembe Ndile, who attended the meeting, said Kalonzo’s statements amounted to intimidation of the Kamba community. They said the community risked ‘political oblivion’ should it go divided to the 2017 general election.
