Kisii county Deputy governor Joash Maangi has said that he is not a betrayer and his main agenda is to ensure that the county gets a good leader who is focused on development agendas.
Addressing mourners in Sameta area on Tuesday, Maangi said that there is a section of residents that claimed he has betrayed Governor James Ongwae by throwing his support behind Senator Chris Obure for the gubernatorial seat and called upon them to understand the leaders the county need.
“We as a county need leaders who will ensure that we create more jobs, be accountable for all the resources and I have no doubt Obure is the best leader who can ensure we achieve that after next years’ general election,” he added.
Maangi called upon the residents to ensure that they support ‘Omogusii Unity’ movement if they wanted to enjoy the fruits of devolution in full.
This comes barely few days after the ‘Omogusii Unity’ endorsed Senator Chris Obure to be the flag bearer for the gubernatorial seat come 2017.
