Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) Commissioner Johnson Muthama has downplayed speculation about divisions within the Kamba community ahead of the 2027 General Election, insisting that unity is intact.
Speaking in Kyangwithya East, Kitui Central, shortly after attending a church fundraiser at Kwagindu Catholic Church, Muthama stressed that democracy should not be confused with disunity, noting that freedom of speech and difference of opinion are natural in politics. “The unity of Kamba is there. There is no Kamba fighting another Kamba. We only have different opinions,” he said.
On whether he would support Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka in 2027, the former UDA chair avoided a direct endorsement, saying it was too early for political declarations. “A lot of things will happen before 2027. This is not the right time. Good politicians don’t prepare in long time but prepare in a day… don’t get worried or feel threatened by any kind of situations,” he remarked.
Muthama shifted focus to development, citing the stalled Umaa Dam in Kitui, and welcomed President William Ruto’s commitment to complete unfinished projects in the Lower Eastern region. “All leaders belong to Kenya. Why would I be worried?” he posed.
The seasoned politician’s comments come at a time when debates around the Kamba community’s role in the 2027 elections are intensifying, with calls for unity behind a single presidential candidate gaining momentum.
