Former Cherengany Member of Parliament Joshua Kuttuny has revealed how President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy William Ruto made him lose his seat during the last general election.
In an interview with a local daily, Kuttuny said that he dedicated much of his time campaigning for President Uhuru at the expense of doing his own campaign.
“I lost in the last General Election because I failed to do serious campaigns in Cherangany and instead concentrated on national politics thinking that my constituents will understand and vote me as their MP for another term.Only to realise that my perception was wrong,” said Kuttuny.
Despite failure to clinch the seat, Kuttuny said that he was glad Jubilee formed the government.
“Though I lost my Cherangany seat I am glad we clinched the presidency despite President Uhuru and his deputy facing charges at the International Criminal Court (ICC) also being perceived as the underdogs,” added Kuttuny.
On the other hand, he said that he has nothing to regret because President Uhuru Kenyatta won the presidency showing that his effort was not lost.
At some point Kuttuny served as an advisor to president Uhuru Kenyatta.
Kuttuny has declared his intentions of vying for the Cherangany parliamentary seat.
