According to a press release from the senator's communications team,  the sand harvesting cartels have resorted to issuing threats to Senator Wambua."Self proclaimed sand harvesting cartels are already feeling the heat and have devised several fight back methods including sending barbaric text messages to woe him to stop his End to Sand Harvesting Push", the statement reads in part.

Senator Wambua said he will remain unmoved in fighting for the rights of current and future generations whose inheritance is being threatened by illegal sand harvesting cartels. He was speaking in separate burial ceremonies in Kitui West and Kitui Rural constituencies over the weekend.
