After 2013, life has never been the same for former Maragua MP Peter Kamande Wambuku. Having served two times, he was first elected to parliament in 2002 and later in 2013 where he recently lost to Wamaua, he is now wine and spirits distributor in Ciumbu Village, Makuyu in Murang’a County.
He was left with no option and resorted to distributing liquor in Saba Saba, Kabati, Kaharati and Makuyu. However, sources reveal that life has never been the same for the former politician, he faced a stiff competition from well-established sellers in Kobil town. This forced him to shut down his shop and relocate to Ciumbu village, next to his small hotel and butchery.
Sources reveal that Kamande has not been doing well financially when the school he had opened closed down due to COVID-19. Further reports indicate that unlike other politicians, Peter Kamande dd not relocate to posh estates in Nairobi and during his time as an MP, he was always seen in the village.
Residents claim he lived a simple life and after losing to former MP Elias Mbau in 2017, he moved to Mombasa, Saba Saba area where he was purportedly employed as a lorry driver. Reports say that tycoons in Maragua were not happy with Mbau’s leadership and they told Kamande that they would sponsor him to vie. He was however unlucky during Jubilee nominations.
It is believed that Kamande has a huge following in Makuyu, Saba Saba and Kamahuha areas. To save his political career, he has collaborated with ANC party leader Musalia Mudavadi and he has been made the ANC party leader in Murang’a County.

nothing like Justice in Kenya's electoral body.this greediest must vacate the office
Your Comment : I have now believed that we do not have an independent electoral and boundaries commission , instead we have a congregation of greedy individuals out to misuse Kenyans and bring chaos to our country. #Remove them. #clean the top leadership.
Congratulations to Governor Mutua,you really deserve to lead in the best performing governors,,, those ranked last should be dealt with accordingly for misappropriating public funds
Raila was the hunter now the hunted... how do trust a hyena like Uhuru.. You both greedy... you dug your grave lie in it... What handshake.. Crap...
Babu aje zake,handshake is for all Kenyans, and Kibra believe in handshake, there4, Uhuru And Raila should have different candidates and whoever Will go through Will be thé product of handshake

Hehehe, supporting somebody was not an agreement in the handshake my friends!! Remember Raila caused many to die during the era of maandamano hence Uhuru devised a method how to tame this power hungry man!! Mariga must win
Your Raila and uhuru come from different political party,. Everyone is free to handle his party issues and i salute the president for supporting mariga being the jubilee candidate. Raila is also supporting the odm candidate and no one is against that. Some people are taking handshake as political party while it's not. Please mr mp style up.
