Former Bonchari MP Portus Kebati has urged current area MP John Oyioka to ignore critics and focus on quality service delivery.
Mr Kebati who served as a MP between 1992- 2002, said Mr Oyioka should not be threatened by his critics who lost in the last elections.
"The MP should ignore those opposing his leadership. He should instead focus on delivering what he promised the people," he said.
He asked former MP John Opore to respect theelectorate's will and allow Mr Oyioka to serve the people.
"Am surprised that still Mr Opore does not want to retire from politics. He defeated me in 2002 and I accepted and went home, he should copy from me," said the reired MP.
He asked locals to back Mr Oyioka who is in office saying that was the only way they would gain from his leadership.
He was speaking at his home area in Nyamagundo Bomariba on Thursday morning.
