Just recently he
almost exchanged blows with his opponent, Cecily Mbarire, when both aspirants
clashed at a fundraiser within the country. The senator has also been accused
of inviting people to his Kanyuambora home where they are served a plate of
rice and given fare for their way back home.
Currently, the
senator is under sharp criticism from some residents and community leaders for
hiring young people in the county to cheer him up during the President’s visit.
In the podcast that is circulating on the social media, the Senator is heard
telling a group of young people to arrive in the stadium early as they usually
do. He further instructs them to cheer him once the president mentions his
name.
Kivuti concludes
by telling the group to see Kibathi, the chairman of the now defunct APK party,
for lunch as their reward for stage-managing a show of his overwhelming support
before the president.
This video has
caused Kiviuti criticism from a large section of the community with many people
wondering just how far he is willing to go in exploiting young, idle members of
the county just to grasp the highly coveted seat.
