Chief Justice David Maraga is more powerful than Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i, South Mugirango Member of Parliament Sylvanus Osoro has said.
Speaking on Tuesday morning during an interview on Egesa FM's Boka Boka show, the vocal lawmaker said Maraga's position is more powerful than that of Matiang'i.
"I want to confirm that CJ Maraga holds a powerful position in government unlike Matiang'i. People should stop confusing the two leaders and know that Maraga has more powers than Matiang'i who a section of leaders are pushing to vie for the country's top seat," said Osoro.
The legislator maintained that he will only support Matiang'i if he champions for employment and development in the Gusii region.
"Matiang'i should work for the people first before I support him. Let him ensure our youths are employed and development projects are initiated in South Mugirango and across all corners of Gusii region before he gets my support," noted Osoro.
Osoro further noted that even if he is a close ally of Deputy President William Ruto, he is not afraid of facing the DP and correcting him whenever he goes wrong.
The first-term MP stated that even though he was elected on a small party, Kenya National Congress (KNC) Party, that does not hinder him from speaking his mind on matters of national importance.
