Ukambani national youth leaders led by Aggrey Nzomo - the chairman- on Wednesday declared their shift of allegiance to Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua from Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka.
Speaking during a press briefing held at a Machakos hotel, the leaders cited that they were tired of Kalonzo's 'political betray' and had resolved to shift their support to Dr Mutua.
The group expressed anger towards NASA co-principal, Musyoka, for skipping Raila Odinga's swearing-in.
"We wish to declare that Kamba men and women are not watermelons. That is a Kalonzo Musyoka's problem,” commented Nzomo.
Elsewhere, Wiper party national Organising Secretary, Robert Mbui, and the party's Minority Whip in the Senate, Mutula Kilonzo Jr, expressed shock over the failure by the former Vice President to take part in Tuesday's ceremony alongside Raila at Uhuru Park.

"Wiper has let its supporters down. I take responsibility on my part. While waiting at Hotel Intercontinental at 2 pm Tuesday, I learnt Wetang’ula, Kalonzo and Musalia were not attending. It was sudden and shocking,” the Makueni Senator stated.
He added that the Wiper party legislators felt they could not head to Uhuru Park without communication from Kalonzo.
Kilonzo Jr noted that Wiper supporters had the right to express their anger and disappointment at the turn of events on Tuesday.
Mbui, on his part, highlighted: "What I found strange was that we had agreed to meet at Intercontinental Hotel at 9.30 am but Wiper politicians changed base to Serena Hotel and failed to turn up for the Uhuru Park function."

According to Kilonzo and Mbui, the principals should explain to their supporters what exactly happened.
