Kisii Governor James Ongwae has dismissed pressure from his Jubilee opponents as ‘little wind’ and promised to give them a ‘lesson’ of the century in 2017 polls.
Ongwae has been facing a resistant from politicians allied to Jubilee party led by former CIC Chairman Charles Nyachae; the pioneers of the infamous Omogusii Unity.
And on Sunday during the homecoming ceremony of Olympic Silver Medalist in 1500M Helen Obiri, Ongwae seized the opportunity to throw scathing attacks to his critics whom he accused of hatred.
“I have been facing an unprecedented onslaught from a number of Jubilee politicians. When you critically review their claims, most of them wants me voted out due to my position in terms of protecting people’s resources,” he said.
“That is just a little wind that I am going to teach a lesson of the century because people are right behind me and I won’t be intimidated. All we need is progress rather than politics of hatred and clanism,” he said.
Ongwae, however, extended an olive hand to politicians who were ready to work with him saying his government was accommodative.
“We may not be perfect but I am sure we have done some good job. My government is free to accommodate all those critics because they can’t win against me in 2017,” he said.
