Governor James Ongwae has denied endorsing Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i for Kisii gubernatorial seat in 2022.
According to Ongwae, he hosted Matiang'i on Monday in his office where they discussed development.
"I wish to put it clear that I didn't endorse Matiang'i to succeed me in 2022. I only hosted Matiang'i in my office on Monday where we discussed development and security in the county," he said in his office on Monday.
Ongwae warned local politicians against spreading falsehood that could mislead the public.
The ODM governor said he can't impose anyone on Kisii residents because the voters have a right to elect for their leaders.
"I have no authority to direct Kisii residents on who they should elect the next governor. Whoever who comes with good ideologies after I complete my term in 2022 will definitely be elected governor," he stated.
He assured that he is committed to ensure his government is delivering as by the promises he made during the last year's campaigns.
