A top ODM Governor has welcomed Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i to join politics ahead of the 2022 general elections.
Kisii County Governor James Ongwae on Monday, while hosting Matiang'i in his office said there will be no problem 'with the super minister joining politics'.
"Matiang'i is fit to join politics and vie for any political seat of his own choice in Kisii or Nyamira County. He has served as a Cabinet secretary 2 times therefore, I am urging him to join politics to continue serving our people," he noted.
Ongwae lauded Matiang'i for his efforts to transform the police force, adding if he vies for a political seat he will serve more better.
The ODM governor maintained that no one will bar Matiang'i from vying for a political seat whether in Nymaira or Kisii County.
"No politician will succeed in stopping Matiang'i from vying for a political seat in 2022 because he has a right to do that. We must be focused as a community by allowing vocal leaders to represent the community," he added.
He challenged Matiang'i not to be scared by the political insults and abuses once he joins politics.
