On Kethi, former Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka has terribly failed Mutula Kilonzo

By Moses Kuria

For those who knew the late Mutula Kilonzo well, they will testify that he was a principled man. He stood firmly for what he believed in, no matter how unpopular or controversial it seemed to other people. And he deeply loved and cared for his children. In many African traditions, when a man dies, it is taken as automatic that his brothers or his close friends would assume the role of the father to the children he has left behind. Mutula Kilonzo was the Secretary General of Kalonzo Musyoka’s Wiper Democratic Party. He was also presumed to be a close friend of the former Vice-President and many are the times Mutula took the bullet for Kalonzo. That Mutula used his immense wealth to severally fund Kalonzo’s political activities is perhaps one of Nairobi’s worst kept secrets. In a nutshell, if Mutula Kilonzo was to rise from the grave today, he would walk straight to Kalonzo Musyoka and demand to know how he has taken care of his children, as a brother and a friend.
