Nyamira County gubernatorial aspirant Charles Mochama has denied allegations that he feared stiff competition in ODM from James Gesami, which forced him out of the camp.
Speaking to the reporter on Tuesday, Mochama said that he did not fear competition from Gesami, but rather looked forward to working with Jubilee since it has vision and development agenda for Kenyans.
“I don’t fear Gesami at all, and I don’t fear competition. I like them but why work with people who are after slowing the country's development and pulling us down, we need development-minded people," said Mochama.
"If you look at ODM, it is full of hypocrites. Members don’t work and yet they need power by force, if you sell your policies to the people, they will buy it. But who will listen to people they cant trust," he added.
Mochama has also insisted on then need for the Gusii people to decamp from ODM and join the government to gain from different projects.
“I urge all people from Nyamira and Kisii counties to work with the Jubilee government, the issue of saying that Nyamira is a Cord zone, we don’t buy it and it is not true,“ Mochama added.
