Janet Ongera, an ODM former Chief Executive and confident of party leader Raila Odinga says Gusii community’s future is solid in the newly launched National Super Alliance.
Amidst fresh calls by a section of leaders led by Nyamira Senator Mong’are Okong’o for Gusii community to have a common party, both Jubilee and ODM are scrambling to solidify their support in the region.
But on Wednesday, the nominated senator said the opposition team represents that interest of the community and would solve vital issues once they take over government.
“Some of the top NASA leadership comes from Gusii because we play a vital role. The community’s interests are well catered in the opposition,” she said.
The aspiring Kisii Women Representative added: “We have issues to do with infrastructure and farming which NASA will take care of. Raila tried to fix some of them when he was Prime Minister.”
Among key NASA leaders from Gusii are ODM national treasurer Timothy Bosire, Governors James Ongwae (Kisii) and his Nyamira counterpart John Nyagarama.
Fundamentally, Ongera plays a vital role given her close working relationship with ODM since her day as party’s chief executive.
