A few days ago, the battle between Jubilee and CORD went a notch higher after reports that Water Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa is being fronted by individuals in the ruling coalition to vie for the position of Nairobi governor. Later, Wamalwa would announce he was planning to relocate from his political support base in Trans Nzoia to join city politics. This was after four Central Kenya leaders endorsed his candidature.
Wamalwa was quoted as saying he was busy doing his job to ensure Kenyans access clean water and would not indulge in active politics. However, the minister said he will quit Government at the right time and announce his political interests.
