Politics is childish and interesting to watch.
Kiunjuri distanced himself from the "alleged murder plotters" in the cabinet. Indeed, the kaleo MPs started questioning why he was absent at La mada if indeed the meeting was about development. Word on the grapevine is that he wants to be Ruto's running mate in 2022.
Today he was in my home county to "launch" an irrigation project. Ngunjiri Wambugu invaded the meeting (it was in his constituency) and told waziri the money was taxpayer's money so he shouldn't be milking political capital out of it.
My take : Kiunjuri is in a class of his own when it comes to oratory skills in Kikuyu. Would be a good choice for anyone eyeing Mt.Kenya vote. However, his base in Laikipia county has very few voters. The lowest in the entire Mt.Kenya region. So he hypes on his Nyeri roots. Ngunjiri's role today must have been intended to remind Kiunjuri that Nyeri is not his base.
Now we can see why Ngunjiri acted out of character today. He is loud and boisterous but not the confrontational type. Someone pulled the strings here. The funny part is that immediately after election, Ngunjiri was the lone voice in Kieleweke group. Today, he is the face of an extremely well organised, well-funded movement.
Anyone who listened to Waiguru during the embrace meeting in Muranga would already know this. Waiguru delivered a speech in Kikuyu that would rank up there with Kiunjuri. In a nutshell, she said that the seat of the head of the house of Mumbi was not vacant.
Her exact words;
"
cia mucii iri gacuguma gatahutagio ni mundu ungi tiga mwene kuo"
"Nyumba yuio ni muraari ti murooki"
