A Nyamira-based politician has rubbished calls by Nyamira youths to have Interior CS Fred Matiang’i named the Gusii community spokesperson.
Victor Swanya said the youths should be ignored since they know nothing about the community’s spokesperson post.
“The calls by some idling youths who want Matiang’i to be named the Gusii community spokesperson should be ignored. The youths have been bribed to support Matiang’i. The community already has a spokesperson and we all know who he is,” said Swanya.
Swanya who unsuccessfully vied for the Kitutu Masaba MP seat during the last year’s polls reiterated that Dagoretti North MP Paul Simba Arati is fit for the community’s spokesperson post.
He warned youths led by Caleb Motari against falling into the tricks of Matiang’i to support him for the community’s spokesperson post.
“Youths should shun leaders who are out to get fame in this country. Matiang’i is a cabinet secretary and should not be involved in any way to interfere with the Gusii community’s politics. We need leaders who can help our youth get jobs and start businesses and not dishing out bribes to youths for political support,” he added.
Swanya called on elected leaders from Gusii region to support Arati who has been vocal representing the community.
