The much-publicised Tuesday meeting between President Uhuru Kenyatta and a section of Ukambani professionals is part of a wider Jubilee plot to isolate CORD co-principal Kalonzo Musyoka.

Sources privy to the State House visit, said the President and his deputy are determined to bag the Lower Eastern vote through a newfound strategy of directly reaching out to the people through professionals and public appointees.
