Former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i has sparked buzz and excitement among residents of Kitui days after declaring his interest in running for president in 2027.
Matiang’i toured the Eastern side of the nation on Friday while on his way from Katulani village where he had gone to condole with the family of his bodyguard Christopher Wambua who passed on in September.
Wambua had been Matiangi’s bodyguard for 10 years.
The former CS made stop overs in different parts of the county, where he interacted with locals and hawkers along Kitui-Machakos road.
Photos seen captured Matiang’i while hemmed in by crowds of local traders and mama mbogas.
The outspoken politician could be seen cheerful as he bought local commodities and fruits on the roadside.

Matiang’i’s visit to Ukambani, a region perceived as Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka’s backyard, seems to have ignited political heat since the latter expressed his presidential ambition.
The ex-CS threw his foot in the race for president in 2027 and hired a Canadian lobbying firmDickens & Madson on July 29, 2024, to support his bid.
Documents seen by Citizen Digital show that Matiang’i had already paid a down payment of $65,000 (Ksh.8.4 million) at the time of the agreement and will also pay a retainer of $250,000 (Ksh.32.3 million).
Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah is also among other politicians who have their interest to succeed President William Ruto.
