Governors Ngilu, Mutua, Kibwana take Azimio gospel to Makueni Governors Charity Ngilu, Alfred Mutua and Kivutha Kibwana today drummed up support for Azimio La Umoja’s presidential candidate Raila Odinga in Makueni County.
The trio addressed a series of rallies in Makindu, Kikima and Mbumbuni towns where they reiterated their resolve to rally the community behind Mr Odinga on his march to State House. Governor Ngilu lamented that Kambas were tired of staying in the opposition, adding that being out of government had cost the region immensely in terms of development.
“We have to be in the next government which will be formed by Raila Odinga under the Azimio La Umoja Movement,” she told the rallies. Governor Ngilu said, by joining Raila’s quest for the country’s top leadership, the region’s electorate sought meaningful representation in the Cabinet, increased resources, opportunities for our professionals and shared prosperity with the rest of the country.
Echoing Ngilu’s sentiments, Dr Mutua and Prof Kibwana said time was ripe for an Odinga presidency noting that the ODM chief was best suited to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta.
“Raila is a trustworthy leader who will bring about quality leadership, strengthen devolution, end marginalization and reengineer the country’s economy,” said Kibwana.
On his part, Dr Mutua accused Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka of attempting to auction his people for selfish gains terming the move as detrimental to Kambas endeavor to be in government.
They, however, warned the residents against DP William Ruto’s forays saying Ruto was a self-seeking, political trickster who Kenyans cannot afford to entrust with the country’s top leadership.
