Narc Kenya leader Martha Karua has responded to his Wiper counterpart over Tuesday night's remarks on the Kamwene outfit.
In her response, Karua asked what is it about Kamwene that scares the Wiper leader.
She noted that Kalonzo has been dragging the outfit's name in most conversations he has.
"What about Kamwene scares my brother Kalonzo Musyoka that he must drag it in every conversation he has?" Karua posed on X.
She was reacting to remarks Kalonzo made during an interview on KTN News.
Kalonzo who was asked about Kamwene said the outfit is an idea that is dead on arrival.
Kalonzo said that the group comprising Mount Kenya leaders from the Opposition coalition is a terrible political philosophy for anyone to use.
He advised the group led by Narc Kenya party leader Martha Karua to drop the idea and work together as Azimio.
"I don't want to pass judgement on that issue but have you heard of things like dead on arrival? This thing means individualism. It's a terrible political philosophy. I would advice my friends to leave it and we stick together in Azimio," Kalonzo said.
Despite his remarks, the Kamwene group has previously said that they are strongly rooted in Azimio.
The group says that it is pushing for the unity of Mt Kenya and for the region's interests in the Opposition outfit.
Speaking during their first major meeting that brought together delegates from the 10 Mt Kenya counties, the leaders told their critics that the Kamwene drive will soon become the voice of Mount Kenya.
"What we are about, and we do not want to lie to you, is about the interests. So those detractors who get edgy simply because the mountain is acting together, there is no need to do that," former Laikipia Governor Nderitu Muriithi said.
"Politics is about interests and we the people of the mountain stand up in the Republic of Kenya to state our case," Muriithi added.
