Richard Onyonka Member of Parliament for Kitutu Chache South on Friday endorsed Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i for the presidency in 2022.
The vocal MP reiterated that Matiang'i has the capacity to lead this country as president after the current President Uhuru Kenyatta completes his second and final term in 2022.
"I can tell you for free today that Matiang'i has all it takes to be the next president and this is the reason I have chosen to walk in this journey with him.
"There is no doubt Matiang'i will make a good president and therefore as a community, we need to stand firm and support one of our own for the top seat in 2022," said Onyonka.
Onyonka dismissed Matiang'i's critics arguing that Matiang'i is a performer who has been proven.
The legislator urged Kisii and Nyamira leaders to stop throwing insults to Cs Matiang'i who is busy serving in government.
"There is no need for people to be jealous of Matiang'i's good work. He was given the opportunity to serve Kenyans because the president trusted him due to his good track record. As a community we must be proud of our own son ready to take over the leadership of this country," he added.
The MP was speaking in Bomachoge Borabu.
