As the ‘Macha Art-Fest’ happened at the Machakos Peoples’ Park, Tony Mochama got an exclusive interview with Masaku Governor Dr Alfred Mutua about the arts and his recent fight with Gov. Sonko over neglected historic sculptures in Nairobi – this on the very day of Tom Mboya’s 50^th assassination anniversary.

A week after Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko invaded Masaku town and accused Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua of being against business folks (in what many saw as Sonko's 'revenge' move after Gov. Mutua shamed him for neglecting the Tom Mboya statue on Tom Mboya street, which is often invaded by Kogalo fans before Gor Mahia matches), Governor Alfred exclusively revealed to us that both the construction of the Mboya statue and the Dedan Kimathi one were his and retired Ambassador Francis Muthaura's brainchild.
