MP Nguna Outlines His Plans for Constituents as Fallout with Wiper Widens

By PAUL MUTUA 

  Speaking at Mbondoni Primary School in his constituency on Tuesday May 5, 2026 when the Director of National Government Constituencies Development Fund Board Naomi Shiyonga opened a fully equipped ultra-modern administration block at the institution, Nguna said he is not backing down soon and he will be making bold moves and  doubling down ahead of the next General Election.

The Wiper legislator said he has no apologies to anyone for abandoning the party to work with the ruling government under President William Ruto in what he terms as a shift from rhetoric to results-oriented policy.

 Nguna wondered why Kalonzo was using the former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua to disfranchise his constituents after he (Nguna) defied party position and voted for Gachagua’s impeachment in 2024.

 “Yes, it is, I fell out with my former party boss after I voted to impeach Gachagua, defying the party line. The vote is the genesis of bad blood between me and Kalonzo,” he said.

 He termed Gachagua as “outright liar” by claiming at an opposition rally held in Migwani town a fortnight ago that they had a discussion over a phone call and challenged the former DP to produce a verified Safaricom call record as a proof. Nguna told off Gachagua, accusing him of alleged meddling in Wiper affairs in order to punish him and influence who will be handed over the Wiper ticket.

  Nguna said his re-election in 2027, regardless of party, will depend on his track development record but not loyalty to party without benefits to people. “The President has actualised his promise to complete the tarmacking of the 27 kilomentre Kwa-Siku, Migwani, Mbondoni road at Sh3.8 billion. I have vowed to relentless pursue for development projects from the national government,” the MP said.

 He categorically made it clear that he would not be intimidated, forced or blackmailed to serve the interests of an individual or a group of people in a particular political formation at the expense of the region that was in dire need to show a united front aimed at championing unity of purpose and rally the residents behind a broad-based ideology and movement.

 The MP asked Dr Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka and his Wiper brigade to give him peace and leave him alone to pursue what he believes is in the best interest of the people of Mwingi West he serves. He said at the moment his intentions and that of the electorate are clear to collaborate with Ruto for sustainable development in the constituency.

 During a rally in Mwingi West on April 23, 2026, Gachagua called on voters in Kitui and Ukambani at large to reject Nguna, his Kibwezi West counterpart, Mwengi Mutuse and allied MCAs at the ballot for trying to embarrass and demean “a leader whose chance at State House is a stone’s throw away.”

 Kalonzo likened Nguna and Kitui Speaker Kevin Kinengo as “bloodsuckers,” alleging that they had benefitted from his political support before shifting allegiance.
