Interior CS Dr Fred Matiang'i has accepted the challenge from a section of Gusii leaders to deputize Deputy president William Ruto come 2022 if given the task.
According to Matiang'i he is currently up to the task to ensure that he performs well in the job that he was given by President Uhuru Kenyatta before he seeks advise from the people on what he should do next.
Dr Matiang'i called upon leaders from the region to ensure that they give the government maximum support in order for them to gain as a community.
"Right now we are in need of development and for that reason am asking you to accept and work with the government," he said.
Leaders who attended the function said that they would back the CS to deputise William Ruto in 2022.
"We call upon the DP to pick Dr Matiang'i as his deputy and we shall back him to replace President Kenyatta," he said.
