Kitui Governor Charity Ngilu has called upon Kenyans to boycott the rerun. The Former lands Commissioner said that there is no need to go to the polls following the withdrawal of National Super Alliance (NASA) Presidential candidate, Raila Amolo Odinga and his Deputy Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka.
Speaking on Monday at a funeral in Kabati, Kitui East, five kilometres from Zombe town, Ngilu asked the citizens of this nation to focus on electoral reforms. The lawmaker also said that the opposition has no reason to be involved a rigged election.
“Our candidates Raila Odinga and Kalonzo Musyoka, who were the contenders withdrew from the repeat presidential race, we, therefore, have no business in that election because we do not have a candidate,” said the governor, as quoted by Nation.
The lawmaker also said that the Kenyans have continued to experience endless problems because of poor governance from the Jubilee government. She also said that the October election is only a scheme to legitimize President Uhuru. She also warned the Jubilee side that it cannot carry the day.
She further accused Jubilee of using state resources during campaigns.
“Kenyans are suffering the effects of a failing economy yet we are seeing Jubilee top leaders extravagantly spending state resources daily on their campaigns to retain power,” Ngilu said.
