I own the streets of Kitui. Nobody brings foolishness here and walks away,\u201d thundered&#8221; Makali.<\/p>\n<p>He laughed off Mbai\u2019s goons, mocking them as \u201cunenlightened villagers who have never set foot in urban centres.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost of those goons he brags about would get lost in Kitui Town. They wouldn\u2019t even trace their way back to the bus station, let alone know where the County Assembly is,\u201d Makali sneered, leaving the studio in stitches.<\/p>\n<p>The outspoken commentator didn\u2019t stop there he likened Mbai and his allies to \u201cemaciated dogs who can only bark but have no bite.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese are empty threats from hungry men seeking attention. Kitui is not a playground for hooligans,\u201d Makali charged.<\/p>\n<p>He accused Mbai of abandoning his legislative duties and resorting to drama instead of service delivery<\/p>\n<p>\u201c I have dealt with louder men and women like Ngilu before and they all went silent \u201d he said defiantly.<\/p>\n<p>However, according to political pundits and online commentators, this escalating war might end up denting Makali\u2019s gubernatorial ambitions. Many believe Makali needs Mbai politically more than Mbai would ever need him, and that such open hostilities could fracture the delicate political alliances forming ahead of 2027.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The political heat in Kitui has reached boiling point after the outspoken Makali unleashed a scathing attack on<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4746","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","morenews-featured":"","morenews-large":"","morenews-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"Kambaland Times","author_link":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/author\/kituitimes\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/category\/politics\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Politics<\/a>","tag_info":"Politics","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4746","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4746"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4746\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4750,"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4746\/revisions\/4750"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4746"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4746"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4746"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
