Mwingi CentralThe Ukambani na UhuRuto group is headed by Mwingi Central MP Joe Mutambo and businessman Peter Muthoka, while UhuRuto Rift Valley is co-ordinated by Baringo Governor Moses Cheboi and Baringo Central MP Sammy Mwaita. Speaking to The Standard yesterday, Mr Kuria said his group was targeting areas where the top Jubilee leaders had not reached. Jubilee Party Secretary General Raphael Tuju yesterday acknowledged the existence of some of the groups but he clarified that they did not receive funding from the party.
