Central Kenya politicians assure DP Ruto of support in 2022.
A section of politicians drawn from the Mount Kenya Region
have pledged to support Deputy President William Ruto for the presidency in
2022.
Led by Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria, his Thika counterpart
Eng. Patrick Wainaina, Women Reps. Gathoni Wamuchomba (Kiambu), Sabina Wanjiru
Chege (Murang’a) and Beatrice Ngatha (Tharaka Nithi), the leaders said that
they would support the DP as he had shown the ability to deliver to the
people of Kenya adding that they were was optimistic Ruto would take over
the leadership of the country.
Speaking in Ndumberi Stadium, Kiambu town during a thanksgiving
ceremony of Kikuyu gospel singer Ngaruiya Junior, Kuria said the era of
hereditary politics in Kenya had been overtaken by events and the challenges
Ruto was going through in preparation for his elevation to the top political were
as a result of a scheme being hatched by beneficiaries of the status quo who
were uneasy with a ‘hustler’ ascending to the helm of this country’s leadership.
“Nothing will stop God’s plan; this is hustlers’ time,” Kuria
said.
Thika MP said that Kenyans had no doubt about who would have
a bigger chance to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta.
“Kenyans are tired of these endless talk and want to be
given opportunities to earn a decent living. We will vote for Ruto in 2022 because
he has demonstrated his ability to perform,” said Wainaina.
He encouraged Kenyans to engage in constructive politics,
noting that development was the ultimate goal
“Even as we do politics, we should discourage politics of
enmity if we are to attain a united nation. We should make use of our
opportunity as elected leaders to engage in activities aimed at uplifting the
people’s lives,” stated the Thika legislator.
Sabina Chege echoed these sentiments stressing
that Ruto deserved to be Kenya’s next president by merit.
“We have worked with the DP, and we have seen that he can
move this country to the next level,” she said.
On her part, the Kiambu women rep. said that they will be
against any amendments to the constitution that were geared towards creating leadership
positions to benefit a select few.
“We have opposed any amendments to the constitution that aims
at creating positions for a few leaders. If we have to change our laws, they
must be about creating wealth to majority of the poor Kenyans,” said
Wamuchomba.
