Political Undercurrents? Mutua Warms Up to Wiper as Cabinet Shake-Up Rumours Intensify

In politics, nothing is ever accidental and the latest photos shared by Dr. Alfred Mutua’s media team are no exception. The labour CS appears intent on projecting unity with Wiper leader Dr. Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka and other opposition heavyweights. His deliberate positioning in these images suggests a carefully crafted narrative: should he be edged out in the much-talked-about Cabinet reshuffle, he has a political home to fall back on within Kalonzo’s Wiper patriotic Movement.

This public rapprochement comes on the heels of a bruising defeat in the Mumbuni North by-election, where Mutua’s preferred candidate suffered a decisive loss to Wiper’s Antony Kisoi despite Mutua spending over two weeks drumming up support in the ward.

So the lingering question for us at Shammah Online News is this:
Has Dr. Mutua already read the signs of a possible dismissal from President William Ruto’s Cabinet and begun hedging his bets ahead of the anticipated reshuffle?

MACHAKOS

“Governor Wavinya Ndeti acted promptly after receiving concerns from the residents of Kibauni regarding the poor state of the Lapalace–Yathui–Ikalaasa–Tulila–Kalawa road. We have therefore begun grading the entire stretch. To Governor Wavinya, it does not matter whether a road falls under the National Government—she will not allow Machakos residents to suffer because of bad infrastructure. Any road used by our people is her responsibility to ensure it is improved for smoother and safer transport. So, when you see graders working along that route, know that they are from the Machakos County Government.”
