I am Beyond a Mkamba, Kalonzo Says as Raila’s Running Mate Debate Hots Up

Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka wants the Azimio-One Kenya coalition to pick him as the presidential running mate.
While dismissing those who have given him a tribal tag, Musyoka stated that he is a national leader who is committed to articulating the interest of all Kenyans.
He argued that ethnic dynamics should not be one of the factors to be considered when picking a running mate for the coalition’s presidential flagbearer Raila Odinga.
Musyoka, who spoke at a church service in South C, Nairobi on Sunday, noted that even if ethnic background was to be considered, he is also from the Mount Kenya region, having schooled in Meru, and speaks Kimeru.
"Some people argue that the running mate must be a Kikuyu. I'm actually from the mountain. I went to school in Meru I speak a little bit of Meru so in truth I'm part of the mountain," said Kalonzo.
"Even if you tribalize a country, then remember also the faith community to a very large extent they do not believe divisions on if they are Kamba, Meru or Kikuyu. Those Kenyans who look at me as a kamba do not understand me. Kalonzo is beyond a Mkamba.”
Musyoka said he will hold consultations with President Kenyatta and Odinga to deliberate on who will be the coalition’s running mate.
"We will consult with Raila and Uhuru on the running mate question, I am in the decision-making organ. There's hierarchy in the coalition leadership structure," Musyoka said.
Musyoka, Nark-Kenya leader Martha Karua, former Gatanga MP Peter Kenneth, and Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Peter Munya are among those touted as the potential running mate of Odinga.
The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has given political parties until April 28th to submit the names of their presidential candidates and running mates.

Ati beyond MKambs but your name betrays him.The trio corrupt as their boss,Raila.NYS land grabber,Kalonzo,Kenya-Re looter,Kenneth and Wangari,whose dwelling quarters are located along Kapenguris Rd.at the border of Njonjo,KIA,Kabete Approved School land bushes have nothing to offer Kenyans.Remember corruption No.1 is Adultery(as you steal from yourself) and I wonder how how Karua can be trusted with Kenyans lives if she could not secure expired Njoka’s NDURUME when he was alive.

No Kalonzo is a typical Mkamba who is very selfish and does not care about the larger interests of others. It is all about Kalonzo and his childish demands. Kalonzo is a typical man who cannot be counted on because he has always been myopic in his self seeking ways. And when given a position of responsibility, kalonzo is an able to perform to the task. Kalonzo knows he does not qualify to be a deputy president of the Republic of Kenya but he keep demanding the position to fulfill his greed. It was a huge mistake for Raila to welcome Kalonzo into Azimio. He is busy tearing the party from inside.

Kambas are known for their loyalty and honesty. Kalonzo served Kibaki well and was not involved in scandals, at least none we know of other the usual propaganda advanced by his opponents. In my view, Steve fits the bill for a running mate.

Kalonzo too well mannered too laid back. He's a compromise candidate aka lukewarm. He's waiting to hope onto a train of Azimio going nowhere.

So what are you Kalonzo since you are beyond a Muikamba? A kalenjin muikamba or a mijikenda myikamba? The fact that you had sex with a kikuyu woman does not make you to be beyond a Muikamba. Saves us the grief Kalonzo.

Kalonzo would be a pathetic prostitute. He won’t even know where whether to give or to receive. That is how confused kalonzo is. We are beginning to see early signs of a man who is really sick in his head. I hope RAO will not make a mistake of picking Kalonzo as his running mate. Kibaki rejected Kalonzo’s and backed Uhuru because he knew the 👨 is useless. Get a life kalonzo and stop tormenting us.

Is kalonzo mentally sick? This fool is literally stupid. Kalonzo does not have what it takes to be Raila’s number 2. He is now denying he is a kamba and claiming he is a kikuyu just to get a position. Nonsense!

Kalonzo is very childish and immature. He is more of a headache that a positive force. This man displays personal greed to the worst levels. He is a broke man and now he wants to jump start his life. It would be a huge mistake for Raila to pick Kalonzo.
