Kisii Deputy Governor Joash Maangi has reiterated that Deputy President William Ruto is a development-oriented leader.
Maangi defended his decision to work with DP Ruto saying he also values development.
"DP Ruto's critics do not know that he (Ruto) is development oriented. There is no need for some politicians opposed to DP Ruto's presidential ambition in 2022 to continue spreading lies about Ruto," stated Maangi.
He fired warning shots to DP Ruto critics in Nyamira and Kisii counties saying politics of propaganda won't stop DP Ruto from occupying State House in 2022.
The vocal Deputy Governor lauded a section of MPs from Gusii region who are pushing for DP Ruto's presidency ahead of the 2022 general elections.
"I am happy that a section of MPs from Nyamira and Kisii counties have accepted to be part of DP Ruto's campaigning team. Every leader has a right to chose a leader he or she should support. I can confirm that DP Ruto's presidency is inevitable," added Maangi.
The ODM allied politicians expressed confidence that the numerous trips being made by DP Ruto to Gusii region will enable him to get more votes from the vote-rich region.
Maangi was speaking on Friday during an interview at Egesa Fm.
