They also castigated statement by President Uhuru Kenyatta that he made Wednesday while addressing a delegation from Kisii in Nakuru saying that he would ensure the courts rule in favor of Jubilee candidates who petitioned the elections of Nyamira and Kisii governors. "This shows how the president belittles the wisdom and independence of Judiciary and respect to the rule of law," said governors from the two counties.At the Grand Royal Swiss Hotel, Nyong'o urged Nasa supporters and well wishers to continue making contributions to their pay bill number to help facilitate presidential campaigns. The governors also reiterated their intention to start a strong economic block as leaders from the 13 counties forming the Lake Region Economic Bloc.
