Machakos Governor Dr. Alfred Mutua has echoed President Uhuru Kenyatta’s sentiments on hustlers versus dynasties ahead of the 2022 general elections.
In an interview with K24, Mutua said that he doesn’t support the narrative in hustlers versus dynasties.
He noted that leaders propagating the narrative are misleading Kenyans as they seek elective positions. The governor’s remarks come after President Uhuru Kenyatta cautioned leaders against using politics cheap politics in their search for power.
“I don’t like the word hustler; I’ve always been a go getter,” he said.
Mutua also urged Kenyans to fight for better leadership. He reminded voters not to elect leaders based on their selfish interest.
He noted that it takes good governance to realise the development goals of the country.
Speaking at the Holy Family Basilica in Nairobi during the commemoration of Kenya's founding father Mzee Jomo Kenyatta’s 41st anniversary, Uhuru said that cheap politics have no place in the leadership of this nation anymore.
“You know, I don’t know if I will be told that I am speaking politics, but I am not, I promise. I have no such intention, but you know when you hear people out there, you know, they talk, ‘Oh, this person, dynasty this, oh dynasty this’…it is not about that," he said as quoted by Standard.
