Mutua slams Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka for calling Kambas cowards for not taking part in demonstrations
Mutua slams Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka for calling Kambas cowards for not taking part in demonstrations.
Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has come under fire from Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary Alfred Mutua for calling the Kamba community cowards.
Mutua disagreed with Kalonzo’s claim that the Kamba’s would fight for a lost cause in a statement on Friday.
He said that widespread violence and property destruction are not supported by the community.
“I wish to humbly and with a lot of respect, inform him that the world and Kenya prefer peace to violence. This is not because a certain community – Kambas in this case – are cowards. NO – it is because they are just not violent and do not approve of Maandamano, violence, looting, and destruction of property,” Mutua stated.
He added, ” Kenyans and indeed Kamba’s are intelligent people and do not engage in futility. People know the reality and no amount of desperation will get us to participate in a lost cause: You really want our relatives to burn their businesses in Machakos, Kitui, Mwingi, Wote etc to be seen to be brave? Engaging in violence and unjustified processes do not make one a hero. They, instead, expose one’s desperate underbelly.”
The former Machakos Governor went on to say that the community has many issues which can’t be addressed by participating in protests.

“Kenyans, and especially the Kamba community, have many issues that they desperately need to deal with. Engaging in insurrection, destruction of property, bringing tension and scaring away investors who will provide jobs to the children of the many (you violent-causing elite already handed your kids plum jobs), is not part of our wisdom,” said Mutua.
Mutua’s statement comes after on Wednesday Kalonzo stated that the Kamba community displayed cowardice during Azimio demonstrations.
He called on the community to emulate Luos if they want to win the Presidency.
“Kambas displayed utmost cowardice during the demonstrations. Kambas should emulate Luos to win the presidency.
“If you Kambas behaved like Luos, this seat we would clinch the following day. The cowardice that we displayed… If we were like Musembi, the whole nation would take notice. These things are never given, they are grabbed. You go for it!” said Kalonzo.
