Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i has been tipped for the presidential seat in the approaching 2022 general polls.
Speaking when he treated his constituents to a Christmas party in the constituency on Tuesday, Nakuru West lawmaker Samuel Otara Arama challenged the CS to go for the top seat.
The parliamentarian based his argument on Matiang'i's good outstanding performance in line with his role at the helm of the docket, saying that his track record suggests he is qualified.
"He is doing a very good job as compared to his colleagues in the cabinet, he is qualified for the presidency," Arama stated in a Citizen Television broadcast.
He added that its time other communities also provided the nation with a leader.
Arama observed that the Kisii community too has what it takes to deliver a President.
"We as members of the Gusii community can also front one of us to vie for the top seat. Its justifiable," added the second term parliamentarian.
Arama has since decamped to the ruling Jubilee Party from the opposition's Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) on whose ticket he secured his first election in the 2013 polls.
However, Matiang'i who has also served as the interim CS for Education at some point is yet to respond to the endorsement.
