Embu Governor Martin Wambora and Senator Lenny Kivuti have opposed the appointment of speaker Kariuki Mate as Jubilee Party director of operations. Wambora, Kivuti and Mbarire want to run for Embu governor. In a rare show of unity that surprised many, Wambora, Kivuti and Mbeere North legislator Charles Njagagua flew from Wilson Airport to Embu University in Kivuti’s helicopter to address the Mate issue. The leaders said that if Mate remains JP director of operations he is likely to rig in Mbarire during primaries. After the press briefing, Kivuti was escorted back to the university in a county government vehicle.
