Kitui Senator David Musila has said that old age will not bar him from transforming the county if elected the next governor.
Speaking to faithfuls at Nzalae Deliverance Church in Mwingi West constituency, Musila said that he understands that his competitors are younger than him but he can do better when it comes to service delivery.
“I know I am older than incumbent Julius Malombe and aspirant Charity Ngilu, but age should not be a factor because it cannot stop me from delivering,” Musila said, as quoted by the Star.
The outspoken senator, who recently differed with Wiper Party Patron Kalonzo Musyoka over the regions gubernatorial race, went ahead to compare himself with the likes of America’s new President Donald Trump and former Kenya President Mwai Kibaki who were elected into office at old ages.
Musila affirmed that he will change the lives of the common mwanachi if he is elected to power.
According to Musila, Kibaki was the best President Kenya ever had despite being elected at an old age. “Americans elected Trump as their President and he is my agemate. Kenyans elected former President Mwai Kibaki when he was old, and he turned out to be one of the best Presidents Kenya has ever had,” he added.
