There is seemingly a cold war being orchestrated by the three Ukambani governors against Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka.

Makueni Governor Kivutha Kibwana and his Machakos counterpart Alfred Mutua on Tuesday met their Kitui colleague Charity Ngilu in her office in Kitui town in a quiet and well-guarded secret meeting, which they later claimed was meant to discuss the region’s development through the proposed South Eastern Kenya Economic Bloc (SEKEB).
