2025 - The return of former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i from
the U.S has stirred political waters, especially after Jubilee Party officially
endorsed him as their 2027 presidential flagbearer.
Welcomed at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport by Jubilee
Secretary General Jeremiah Kioni and Kisii Senator Richard Onyonka, Matiang’i’s
arrival marked the beginning of intense political speculation.
While he’s yet to declare his presidential ambitions
publicly, one ODM lawmaker is already pouring cold water on the idea.
Homa Bay Town MP, Peter Kaluma, has dismissed Matiang’i’s
potential bid, saying the former CS is “punching above his weight.”
Kaluma mocked the small turnout at the airport, claiming
only ten people showed up to receive him, and that he couldn’t even muster the
courage to address the press.
Kaluma advised Matiang’i to start lower, perhaps with a
gubernatorial seat, where he can “learn the ropes” of elective politics.
In a surprising twist, he even offered to mentor Matiang’i
on the political journey.
Kaluma also noted that relying on the 700,000 Gusii votes
won’t cut it, stating that success in Kenyan politics lies in building a broad
national coalition.
