President Uhuru Kenyatta has canceled his Ukambani tour for the second time.
According to sources who spoke to Murang’a Newspaper, a group led by Wiper Party leader, Kalonzo Musyoka is said to have failed to agree on the terms of the much anticipated tour.
Another group consisting of three other Ukambani leaders are said to have wanted seats at the high table so as to oppose Kalonzo Musyoka’s 2022 presidential bid.
Musyokas group, according to the sources who requested anonymity, is said to have wanted to own the event in a bid to showcase their development progress.
Uhuru was expected to visit Machakos andd Makueni today, July 6, before touring Kitui tomorrow.
“We have been notified about the postponement of the visit. The local leadership and OP have been tasked to thrash out a few issues, one of them being the length of the tour,” Kitui Senator Enoch Wambua said yesterday.
“The initial programme was that the tour takes two days but there are those who feel it should take three days.”
“Then there is the issue of which projects the President will launch. Those are basically the issues to be looked at,” he stated.
