Former Kitui Governor Charity Ngilu has raised concerns over what she describes as growing influence from "busybodies" seeking to use Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka for their own personal and political interests.
Ngilu said some individuals in the region were positioning themselves close to Kalonzo without regard for his long-term political future or what happens to him after the 2027 General Election. In a strongly worded statement, she said she has repeatedly warned against this trend, arguing that the former Vice President shouldn't be surrounded by people whose main goal is personal gain.
"In our region, there are BUSYBODIES whose only agenda is to use Kalonzo Musyoka for personal and selfish gains," Ngilu said.
She questioned the genuine commitment of such individuals to Kalonzo's political future, arguing they appear more focused on what they can extract from his current standing than on building a sustainable political path for him going forward. "They don't care what happens to KALONZO after elections. I have been saying this for a long time. It MUST STOP," she added.
Her remarks come as political activity intensifies ahead of the 2027 elections, with Kalonzo remaining a central figure in ongoing discussions around forming a unified opposition alliance. His political influence in Ukambani and beyond has made him a key player in negotiations involving multiple opposition leaders and parties.
Ngilu did not name the individuals she was referring to, leaving open questions about who exactly she believes is seeking to benefit personally from Kalonzo's political standing.
Her comments add to a broader ongoing debate within opposition politics over leadership, loyalty, and the direction of political alliances heading into 2027. As parties continue holding consultations, Kalonzo's political future is expected to remain a significant topic of discussion, particularly within his home region — with Ngilu's warning likely to fuel further conversation among political actors and supporters about the need for clearer strategy and leadership structures beyond the election period.
