PRESS STATEMENT BY THE UKAMBANI YOUTH COUNCIL ISSUED AT THE AMAZING RESTAURANT, MACHAKOS COUNTY ON 1ST  MARCH 2018

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our press briefing.

We would like to react to some comments issued to the press and attributed to a group under the banner of “Ukambani Youth Forum” on the 24th February 2018 in Machakos and which were demeaning on the personality of H.E Dr. Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka and the entire Kamba Nation Leadership following the meeting held recently at Stone Athi. We, members of the registered Ukambani Youth Council, would like to state the following:

1. That the so called Ukambani Youth Forum is an amorphous group without structures. The youth leadership in Ukambani Youth Council has a clearly defined structure with clear mandates from the members. The above mentioned group cannot therefore purport to speak for the Kamba youth. Who elected them, when, and where?

2. That H.E Dr. Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka has been and remains the defacto spokesperson of the Kamba Nation today and beyond. Any belligerent attitude towards him will be treated with the contempt it deserves.

3. The so called Ukambani Youth Forum is a conglomeration of self-seeking extortionists who are guns on hire and who would stop at nothing to earn handouts from unsuspecting politicians through unscrupulous means including video/cinema shows.

4. The so called Ukambani Youth Forum is a well-known bunch of jobless youth who are seeking attention from what they are referring to as “The only other Kamba Leader” who in our opinion should absorb them into his movie industry. Wiper Democratic Movement-Kenya does not only take care of youth, but also of women and People With Disabilities (PWDs).

5. That besides H.E Dr. Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka, there are other able leaders in Ukambani who are capable of carrying the mantle of leadership, and who have exhibited unrivalled leadership qualities. Kavaluku does not feature anywhere in the ranks.

6. That H.E Dr. Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka is an international figure with international accolades like ‘The African Dignitary Man of the Year’, the so called ‘the only other Kamba leader’ has none! The two play in different leagues; while H.E. Dr. Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka plays in the Champions League, Kavaluku plays in lower Division, hence the two are worlds apart.

7. The so called ‘the only other Kamba leader’ is in the eyes of the Kamba Nation considered a renegade. His interest in the Presidency is not only laughable but also a dry joke which requires a sequestering agent. The Kamba Nation will relegate him to the political dustbin sooner than anticipated unless he vies in Kiandutu in Kiambu County.

8. That the Kamba Nation has been treated to lots of antics and theatrics in the name of ‘Chafu Chafu Development’ in matters water and roads. In this regard, we challenge Kavaluku to declare how many youth from Central Kenya he has employed in Machakos County and how many contracts have been awarded to people outside Machakos County.

In a nutshell, we would like to reiterate our unequivocal support to H.E. Dr. Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka in his bid for the Presidency in 2022, and the leadership of The Wiper Democratic Movement-Kenya. We shall defend him at all costs from unwarranted attacks from busybodies.
