Former Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka is a man in trouble. Kalonzo, who is fighting to maintain his influence in Ukambani politics, appears to be losing political grip on a majority of youthful MPs who were elected under Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) affiliate parties and even within his Wiper party.
MPs Victor Munyaka (Machakos Town), Kisoi Munyao (Mbooni), Francis Mwangangi (Yatta), Stephen Mule (Matungulu) and Vincent Musyoka (Mwala) are among the youthful leaders who are coalescing around Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua.
