Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Coalition Party Co-Principal Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka has told off politicians who pretend to be with common people and only serve their interests. Musyoka addressed gatherings soon after a service at the AIC Makongeni Church in Thika town, Kiambu County, last Sunday. “Hakuna Wajinga Kenya, you are either for the people or against them; it`s simple as that, “.
Dr. Musyoka was accompanied by former Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu, aka ‘Babayao’, Jubilee Party Secretary General Jeremiah Kioni, DAP-KKenya Party Leader Eugene Wamalwa, Kitui County Senator Enoch Wambua, and Makueni County Senator Dan Maanzo. Also present were Machakos County Woman Representative Joyce Kameme and prominent lawyer Ndegwa Njiru, among others. He asked Kenyans to stand firm, especially at this time, which he described as a time of uncertainty. “There will be a lot of lies, but you will see what God will do, “added Musyoka.
Alluding to the State of the Nation, Dr. Musyoka said that they had been to the mortuary and saw many dead bodies riddled with police bullets. He added that he, together with other leaders, had visited the injured in different hospitals around the country. “We cannot pretend all is well. Hakuna Wajinga Kenya, as Wamalwa has so clearly put it, ‘you’re either with Gen Z and the people of Kenya or against them. It’s as simple as that,” Kalonzo said.
On his part, Wamalwa said that all was not well in Azimio. “There are those who say Zakayo must go and then those who say Zakayo must stay; there are irrevocable differences. “We are saying you cannot have both!”” Wamalwa added.
Wamalwa said that as former president Mwai Kibaki’s principal assistant, Mr. Musyoka played a pivotal role in stopping the 2007 election violence and helped return the country from the brink of disaster politically and economically.
Several Mount Kenya leaders from Kiambu, Nyeri, and Nairobi counties, present, expressed regret for joining President William Ruto`s UDA party during the last general election. They said that they ignored the advice of former president Uhuru Kenyatta. “We have been sold lies by Zakayo; the economy has collapsed, our businesses have closed down, unemployment is on the rise, and the cost of living keeps on rising,” they said.
The leaders expressed their unwavering support for Musyoka in the 2027 general election. Reverend Jackson Kimotho Kisenge, who ministered at the church, said, “We have a God who can carry our burdens.”. He asked worshippers to read and always remember Isaiah 46:4, which states that God was the sustainer of all ages.
