Dagoretti North MP Simba Arati is fit to take over from Governor James Ongwae in 2022, MP Janet Ong'era has said.
Mr. Arati has come out as one of strongest contestant despite his affiliation with Nairobi politics even as the race takes shape.
Speaking in Bobasi, Ms. Ong'era insisted that Ongwae's legacy will be cemented should Arati takeover.
"I have looked at him closely and I can assure you that Arati is the good bet for us.
"When Ongwae leaves, he needs someone who can continue with the strong foundation and I am sure that everything will be okay," she said.
At the event, Arati did not however speak directly about the issue but said when time comes he will let people know.
"I know our problems and we shall talk about it when time comes. We understand what our people want," he said.
Early this year, a section of youth leaders led by Beavon Magare has backed Arati for the big seat after he was formerly crowned as Gusii spokesman.
