Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua and Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka on Saturday struck a deal after the Wiper leader pledged to support Jubilee agenda.
The two Ukambani leaders met in public and agreed to meet next week in what seems to be signs of thwarting their political rivalry between the two leaders.
Speaking on the meeting governor Mutua revealed that they enjoyed moments of laughter as they discussed life and "agreed to call each other to share a cup of tea".
The Wiper Leader and governor Mutua met at Karen Community Church in Nairobi where they attended the wedding of Robert Kivutha, son of Makueni Governor and wiper party chairman Kivutha Kibwana.

Last week, Mutua invited Kalonzo to work with him to accelerate development for the common interest of the people of Machakos.
Mutua stated that since they are both supporting President Uhuru Kenyatta's Big Four agenda and fight against corruption, it was logical they joined forces.
Their signs of warming up to each other started after the Wiper leader publicly endorsed Uhuru's administration and declared support for the handshake with ODM's Raila Odinga.
The decision was reached during the party's National Executive Council meeting at the Wiper headquarters on July 28.
Wiper Party resolution read: "It is now the decision of the NEC/PG of the Wiper to directly work with President Uhuru in his effort to transform Kenya. Our members of parliament should stand guided by this resolution."

The two leaders have been reading from different scripts over the running of Machakos county, a situation that was amplified during the August 2017 poll.
The row was escalated in the wake of former Kathiani MP Wavinya Ndeti's claim to the governor seat and a case which is pending at the Apex court.
