Maalim says that UhuRuto and their troops have sensed defeat and are trying everything possible to remain relevant.
In an interview with the People Daily, Maalim claimed that Jubilee is now rushing to initiate and complete development projects after failing to deliver what they promised to Kenyans in 2013.
He said that it’s too late for Jubilee, adding that the August 8 polls is already a done deal for NASA.
“It is too late for Uhuru and Ruto to impress Kenyans because their fate has been sealed,” he said as quoted by the People Daily.
Maalim observed that Jubilee government lost it when it failed to fight corruption, tribalism and marginalization of some communities especially on public appointments.
The former National Assembly Deputy speaker urged Kenyans not to make a mistake of re-electing Jubilee. He appealed to Kenyans to endorse NASA presidential flag bearer Raila Odinga saying that the former Prime Minister will promote interests of every Kenyan if he wins.
Meanwhile, Maalim has urged his supporters to come out in numbers on August 8 and help him send incumbent Aden Duale home.
The MP hopeful said that Duale’s time is up and should prepare his baggage to exit office. He said that Duale’s leadership has not been beneficial locals.
The former National Assembly deputy speaker is eyeing to unseat Duale on a Wiper party ticket. Duale is defending the seat on Jubilee ticket and has vowed to teach Maalim a bitter political lesson on August 8.
