Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua has hit back at Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka for expelling him from the party.
He termed the move as cowardly, adding that he would support President Uhuru Kenyatta in the August 8 polls.
"Mimi nime furahi sana. Nilikuwa kule kwingine maana nialnza na chama cha wiper. Lakini nilifukuzwa huko na wakanitukana kwa sababu nime simama na rais Uhuru Kenyatta ," Mutua said on Saturday.
This loosely translate to: " I am so happy. I was on the other side because I started with Wiper but I was chased because I chose to stand with Uhuru."
"Whether they like it or not, I will stand and support Uhuru's re-election," he added.

Mutua accused Kalonzo of resorting to divisive politics by isolating the Ukambani region from the government. He said Kalonzo lacked a clear vision for the people of Ukambani.
"Jubilee is busy selling its policy, while others are busy complaining and abusing us. We do not want to dwell on their storytelling gimmicks but rather focus on development-oriented politics to build our economy," he said.
Pundits have predicted that mutua is more popular than Kalonzo in the kamba region thus in the next Polls they will likely split the kamba vote
