Machakos Governor Alfred Mutual [photo/standardmedia.co.ke]Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua has called upon President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto to extend gratitude for the support of Jubilee by his Maendeleo Chapchap party by reserving key positions for its members.
Mr. Mutua urged the President to allocated Cabinet and parastatal pots to his party members as a show of thanksgiving for the overwhelming support during the Jubilee campaigns in 2017 election period."We are going to ask very strongly that our participation is felt in terms of members of parliament in committees, in county assembly and also in the appointment of cabinet secretaries, ambassadors, permanent secretaries and other high officials," he said.
The Machakos county boss was speaking this on Saturday while addressing the media after meeting the Party's executive council and other party leaders in Lavington, Nairobi.
He revealed that the party leadership will begin a countrywide campaign to popularize the party as well as share its ideals that focus on servant leadership."Key on the agenda is a stocktake of the last general elections, a review of the legal regime for political funding, a formulation of a work plan for our activities for 2017-2022 and my 2022 Presidential bid," Mutua stated.
Mutual noted that corruption is the biggest challenge facing the Jubilee government and asked Uhuru to deal with the culprits without fear or favour.“We are aware that President Uhuru Kenyatta was a man under siege in his first term. He was under siege because when you are running for re-election you have to do something we call a balancing act."We feel that he may not have been able to hit hard on the agents of corruption because of political considerations," Mutua said.Is there a newsworthy accident, incident or event happening in Machakos County that you want Hivisasa to cover?
