Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria today, Tuesday, takes Jubilee campaigns, under the 'Mbele Iko Sawa' caravan, to Vihiga county.
The strong Opposition's Nasa critic and Jubilee lawmaker is leading the caravan, in traversing the western kenya region, an area perceived to be the Nasa support base.Kuria and his caravan led campaigns in Kakamega on Tuesday, where he said, the Raila Odinga-led alliance would not win in the August 8 pols, because Jubilee's President Uhuru Kenyatta beat him in 2013 election.“We are here to campaign for Jubilee because we want to ensure this region is not left out of the next government," Kuria told residents in Ikonyero trading centre, along the Mumias-Kakamega road.The campaigns by the Jubilee team however, faced opposition at Shinyalu market, when some youth demanded cash handouts from the party’s aspirants. They chanted Nasa-support slogans after seeing the money was not being issued out.Mabel Muruli, the Kakamega Jubilee gubernatorial candidate, further asked the youth to stop engaging in unruly behaviour and allow candidates to sell their agenda without intimidation.Muruli is facing opposition from incumbent governor, ODM deputy party leader, Wycliffe Oparanya, and area senator, Ford Kenya deputy party leader, Dr Bonny Khalwale.
