NASA leader Raila Odinga has been assured that Kisii residents 'love' him.
Kisii Deputy Governor Joash Maangi speaking on Wednesday morning when he welcomed the former Prime Minister to Kisii ahead of President Uhuru Kenyatta''s visit said Raila is much appreciated in Kisii region.
"Kisii residents adore you due to your good political style. Without doubt you have been a good mentor to many of us and we celebrate you for that," said Maangi.
According to Maangi, no politician possesses similar qualities like Raila in politics.
He said Raila has mentored many people in politics.
"We are behind the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) aimed at ensuring Kenyans are living in peace," he stated.
Maangi appealed to local leaders to respect each other and put the interests of the electorates at heart.
"As leaders we must lead by example and ensure we deliver as by the promises we made during campaigns. At time is shameful for elected leaders to insult and abuse each," said Maangi.
He challenged politicians who lost during the 2017 polls not to incite their supporters to insult those who won various seats.
