Machakos governor Alfred Mutua has said he will rally the entire Easter region to support President Uhuru Kenyatta in his re-election bid in the 2017 elections.
Speaking at Olkalao in Nyandarua county, Mutua said that he had decided to come clear on his stance from the beginning to avoid appearing like a hypocrite.
"I want to confess that I personally have refused to be like a watermelon. You neither know whether it is red or green. My focus is to ensure Uhuru serves for a second term as president and this I will achieve at all cost," said Mutua.
The Maendeleo Chap Chap leader said that his friendship with president Uhuru Kenyatta had started long ago and that he will be with him at all costs.
"We shall rise and fall together with Uhuru, we shall eat and dine together, I have chosen to die with him because he is my friend and his political agenda and policy is to ensure that we all together move forward," he said.
