Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei has recently criticized Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka for missing the Mashujaa Day celebrations held in Kitui County on Monday, October 20.
Taking to his social media, Senator Cherargei accused Kalonzo of being unpatriotic and cowardly for failing to attend the national event in his political backyard.
“Kalonzo is a coward of the century; by skipping the Mashujaa Day national celebrations that was unpatriotic to the country yet all Ukambani are attending in mammoth crowds,” Cherargei stated.

He went on to claim that Kalonzo had traveled to the United Kingdom but returned to Kenya for the funeral of the late former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, only to skip the national celebrations in his own region.
The senator questioned Kalonzo’s nationalist credentials, arguing that a true patriot would not miss a national holiday to honor Kenya’s heroes.
Cherargei further praised the people of Kitui and the broader Ukambani region for their warm reception of President Ruto and other dignitaries at the event.
The Mashujaa Day celebrations at Ithookwe Stadium in Kitui County drew massive crowds.
The 10,000-capacity venue was full by 8:30 AM, and the gates opened as early as 4 AM to accommodate the enthusiastic residents.
