Kitutu Chache South MP Richard Onyonka has begged Kisii County Governor James Ongwae to endorse him in 2022 for the Kisii gubernatorial seat.
The lawmaker was speaking on Sunday in Kisii and said he is fit to succeed Ongwae, unlike other contestants.
"I have all it takes to be the next Kisii County Governor after Ongwae completes his tenure in 2022. I am pleading with Ongwae to consider endorsing me for the seat because other contestants are not ready to lead the people of Kisii County," he said.
The legislator reiterated that he has been vocally defending the people in his constituency and therefore, qualifies to be the governor.
He said he is mature and understands leadership qualities which will help him develop Kisii county.
"Kisii governorship contestants like Joash Maangi are not ready to succeed Ongwae because he has been loitering around with DP Ruto abandoning Ongwae to serve the electorates alone. I have been close with Ongwae and I deserve an endorsement in 2022 to be the next governor," he added.
The MP slammed Ongwae's opponents who have been spreading propaganda about the state of Kisii Teaching and Referral hospital.
He urged Ongwae to ignore the critics and focus on serving the electorates.
