Wajir County supports NASA Presidential candidate, Raila Amolo Odinga, an Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) official has said.
Secretary Ibrahim Omar said that President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy William Ruto stand no chance of beating Raila, former prime minister, in the quest for Wajir votes ahead of the August general elections.
He said that the region is strongly in the opposition, adding that Jubilee should look for votes elsewhere.
“Don’t be cheated that Wajir residents have shifted their allegiance to Jubilee. That has never happened. And it will be confirmed on August 8,” he told a local daily.
He also launched a scathing attack on the current leadership saying that it has sidelined the region. Omar argued that the residents of this part of the nation have nothing to smile about when it comes to leadership.
He also said that the region has not only been ignored but also marginalized.
“An honest assessment shows that the Jubilee government has done nothing in Northeastern for the past four years. As a people we have been ignored and marginalized more than ever before” he stated.
The politician said that only the county government has been working around the clock to improve the welfare of the people of Wajir in the past four years.
“We only have the county governments to thank for the development we are witnessing, even with the meagre resources allocated from the national government.”
