Former aspirant for the Jubilee Nairobi gubernatorial slot Peter Kenneth has attacked his competitors governor Evans Kidero and senator Mike Sonko saying they are unfit to hold office.
Speaking on Friday after ditching the Jubilee Party and declaring to contest for the governor's post on an independent ticket, Kenneth said the duo of Sonko and Kidero have failed Nairobians terribly and should not be given another chance in leadership.
He said Kidero is a poor manager who has failed and who should not ask Nairobians for votes.
“We have had four years of Governor Evans Odhiambo Kidero, who has failed us. Despite being allocated more than Sh100 billion in the last four years, very few Nairobians can show what he has done,” he said.
“He completely abdicated his duties to his junior officers,” Kenneth added.
On senator Sonko, the former Gatanga MP said the senator has failed in his oversight role and lacks the managerial capacity and capability to head the city which controls almost 60 per cent of the country's GDP.
“We must continue to reject the lies that are being peddled. Lies that we have seen in the last couple of weeks that Nairobi can succeed with a governor who is a figurehead. Nairobi is the single largest economic centre of our country. It requires a good manager,” he said.
Kenneth added that he is the only leader with a good record and pleaded with Nairobians to elect him in the next general polls.
