The stench of desperation has reached choking levels in Machakos as former Governor Alfred Mutua and his bitter alliance Mavoko MP Patrick Makau, Mwala MP Kawaya, and Speaker Anne Kiusya unleash a toxic wave of propaganda to tarnish Governor Wavinya Ndeti. Hiding behind the digital dirtbags of Nairobi, they’ve hired Cyprian Nyakundi a notorious blogger-for-hire to manufacture wild lies, including a reckless claim that EACC is preparing to arrest Wavinya and her son. The claim has no basis in truth. It’s a pure invention meant to distract, destabilize, and defame.

But this is not just a smear campaign it is a declaration of war against women in power. Governor Wavinya Ndeti’s crime, in their eyes, is daring to lead better than any man before her. Her administration has delivered tangible development, and her bold, public backing of Kalonzo Musyoka’s 2027 bid has placed her at the center of Ukambani’s political future. These scared men can’t stomach that. Instead of offering vision or unity, they resort to smear blogs and manufactured EACC headlines the last refuge of political cowards.

Let us be clear: Cyprian Nyakundi is not a journalist. He is a digital mercenary with a long record of blackmail and paid-for propaganda. His false claims about imminent arrests are not just defamatory they are criminal. And those sponsoring these lies are not political leaders they are saboteurs, terrified of a woman who has shown more backbone and results in three years than they did in decades of male-dominated mediocrity.
But Machakos is not a playground for lies. The people are awake. They know Wavinya’s record. They support her fearless pushback against UDA interference, her protection of the Ukambani vote, and her unshaken leadership. The propaganda will pass. The truth will stand. And Wavinya Ndeti will continue to lead not because her enemies are weak, but because her people are strong. In Machakos, the lioness still rules and the jackals can only bark.
