Machakos governor Alfred Mutua has revealed why he chose to back the re-election of President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Mutua has said as Maendeleo Chap Chap, they discussed on their position in the upcoming general election and settled on the incumbent as the suitable candidate.
"And since we have no presidential candidate in this year's election, we decided to give you(President Uhuru Kenyatta) another term," said Mutua.
Mutua's party formally endorsed the re-election of President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Mutua said Jubilee government's has had an unmatched record in development citing free maternity programmes, last mile connectivity and road projects-that have been a controversial topic among the opposition-as some of the incumbent's milestones.
"The country has not witnessed such empowerment of the youth with setting up of polytechnics at least in every constituency-like it is the case today. This is a government with a score card," said Mutua dismissing the opposition's pledge of a better country.
