Kisii County Senator Prof. Sam Ongeri on Sunday humiliated Nyaribari Masaba MP Ezekiel Machogu before members of the public at Mesabisabi grounds.
This was after the MP tried to 'solicit' the senator to endorse him for Kisii County gubernatorial seat in 2022.
Ongeri said he can't endorse anyone because it is not the right time.
"My friend (Machogu) I am sorry I won't endorse you for now because it is too early. First focus on serving the electorate and the rest will come," said Ongeri.
The senator asked politicians to keep off clan politics saying it is the electorates who makes choices.
According to the ODM allied senator, no leader will succeed in imposing himself or herself on the people.
"Let us no hurry so much rushing to endorse people to succeed Governor James Ongwae. We are giving the governor unnecessary pressure. Let him complete his tenure in peace," he added.
Ongeri maintained that divisive politics is bad since locals will be divided along political lines thus no development will be achieved across the county.
He urged MCAs to work around the clock to develop their respective wards.
