[Photo|Granton Samboja]Taita Taveta Governor, Granton Samboja, has come out to speak, after he dumped Raila Odinga's NASA coalition for President Uhuru Keny    atta's Jubilee Party.Samboja who was elected in Kalonzo Musyoka's Wiper Democratic Movement, jumped ship, immediately NASA withdrew its candidature in the October 26 fresh presidential election, and further welcomed Uhuru to Voi.Below is what he said, Friday."It matters not our political differences. What is important is our will and determination to work and bring development to our people. Our county faces a myriad of challenges. We need at the same time to deliver development and our promises to the people. Party politics is not what our people will eat,have as jobs and place as food on the table. It will be our effort together as leaders, to see how we can work together, regardless of our political affiliations, and bring positive difference in the lives of our people. We have been tasked to deliver and that we shall.I am grateful to H.E. the President, Uhuru Kenyatta who has promised to settle the land leases issue together with the commencement of the Mzima 2 that will distribute water to the people of our county. Much appreciation to the consultation of the presidency, myself and stakeholders we have secured land to construct the county headquarters at Mwatate.I am ready and willing to look across political divide and intolerance to assure that our people get the service and development they need and deserve. Our county and country is bigger than us. We are called to serve and to serve we shall. God bless Taita Taveta."
