Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party treasurer Timothy Bosire has narrated his difficult upbringing which he now says contributes to his 'tough' political approach.
Bosire who served as Kitutu Masaba MP in the last parliament narrated the tough time he went through as a student in Gekano High School and at the University of Nairobi in the 80s.
He noted that he was kicked out of Gekano High School in 1979 and was forced to study at home throughout his expulsion period until he sat for his national exams.
"I have always stood for change. I started my activism in secondary school and I was kicked out of Gekano. They only allowed me to sit for exams later on," he said.
"At the University of Nairobi, I was also suspended before completing my economics degree in 1986. I don't like a situation where people infringe the rights of others," he added.
Bosire defended his time at the Treasury, adding that those dragging his name in the Goldenberg scandal are not justified at all.
"My records both as MP and economist at the Treasury is very clean. I was not implicated in any scandal. I left both offices very clean," he said.
Reacting to the chaos that was witnessed in Kibra the ODM treasurer asked leaders to refrain from acts of violence, adding that the move could set a bad precedent ahead of the 2022 polls.
Bosire confirmed his intentions to run for the Nyamira gubernatorial elections in 2022, arguing that he's best placed to replace Governor John Nyagarama.
"We are doing it systematically. When the right time comes, you'll see my team. We want to change Nyamira for good and that's what I'm prepared to do," he said.
