As Kalonzo Musyoka rallied Ukambani leaders and loyalists for a momentous political reckoning at the “Tseikuru Declaration,” one man was conspicuously absent—Mavoko MP Patrick Makau. While the region’s dignitaries stood shoulder to shoulder to proclaim unity and resistance against state infiltration, Makau was reportedly holed up with UDA strategists, deepening his covert alliance with President William Ruto. The betrayal wasn’t just a political snub it was a calculated move, a slap in the face of the Wiper Party and its embattled leader.

Makau’s political descent from loyal Wiper lieutenant to Ruto’s regional pawn has been unfolding like a bad thriller. Sources close to the presidency suggest Makau is being used as a tool to fracture the Ukambani bloc ahead of 2027, and the Tseikuru no-show was merely the latest chapter. His defiance during the Rigathi Gachagua impeachment vote—allegedly after pocketing Sh500,000—exposed the depth of his new loyalties. While Kalonzo pleaded for unity, Makau declared he’d take orders from Ruto alone, confirming fears of an internal rot weakening the Wiper establishment from within.
But Makau’s betrayal is not just ideological—it is tainted by scandal. Deputy President Gachagua himself has hinted at the MP’s role in a sprawling land-grabbing scheme within Mavoko, painting him as a political mercenary hiding behind a public mandate. Residents have also accused him of weaponizing the NG-CDF to curry favor in other constituencies, distributing bursaries of over Sh20,000 outside his jurisdiction, while his own constituents are left struggling with scraps. In a region already plagued by inequality, this act reeks of elitist contempt and opportunism.

Calls are now growing louder for Kalonzo to purge Makau and other traitors in Wiper’s ranks. “You cannot preach unity while entertaining saboteurs,” one resident said angrily. For Makau, dreams of becoming Machakos governor in 2027 now is a pure delusion. The tide has turned. What was once a rising star in Ukambani politics now faces a dark, permanent eclipse—a self-inflicted fall from grace that may see him not only lose his seat but be written off as a footnote in the region’s history of resistance.
