Kalonzo jets back from US trip, vows to 'Komboa Kenya'

Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka has returned to the country following what he described as a “productive” trip to Washington DC in the United States.

In a statement on X, Kalonzo said he would press on with what he termed a patriotic mission to “Komboa Kenya.”

“Grateful to be home! What an incredible homecoming this evening after my productive trip to Washington DC, USA,” Kalonzo said shortly after his arrival.

The former Vice President was received by a delegation of leaders affiliated with the Wiper Party and the Azimio coalition, led by Dan Maanzo and several Members of Parliament.

“Thank you to the WPF and Azimio leadership for the warm reception,” he said.

Kalonzo said the show of solidarity had strengthened his resolve to continue engaging both local and international stakeholders on governance and economic issues.

“Your support energises our patriotic mission. Make no mistake, the work we're doing locally and internationally is bearing fruit,” he stated.

While he did not disclose details of his engagements in Washington, he maintained that the discussions were in the country’s best interest.

“Together, we shall Komboa Kenya,” Kalonzo declared.

His return comes at a time of renewed political activity within the opposition, with leaders signalling plans for increased mobilisation across the country.

Last week, a solemn moment unfolded during a church service in Baltimore, where prayers were offered for Kalonzo.

Clergy led the congregation in intercession as leaders and congregants stretched out their hands in a show of unity and faith.

Kalonzo knelt quietly as the prayers were conducted, reflecting a deeply personal and spiritual pause amid his public life.

The Azimio Party leader spent time engaging with Kenyans living and working in the United States, in what he described as “an open and honest conversation” about the country’s future.

Addressing members of the diaspora in Silver Spring, Kalonzo said the gathering was not a formal meeting but a candid exchange about leadership, responsibility, and the direction of Kenya.

During his trip, Kalonzo urged Kenyans to reflect carefully on the choices they make when electing leaders, saying leadership decisions have a lasting impact on the destiny of a nation.

In a message shared after worshipping at PCEA Baltimore Church in Maryland, United States, Kalonzo said moments of political choice should be guided by values, faith and a deep sense of responsibility to the people.

He was accompanied during the service by Deputy Minority Leader of the National Assembly and Kathiani MP Robert Mbui, as well as Makueni Senator Dan Maanzo.

Kalonzo said leadership is a sacred trust that must remain anchored in service, integrity and obedience to God.
