A section of Kwale leaders have called upon Deputy President William Ruto to concentrate on selling his agenda in the region and entire nation instead of waging war against National Super Alliance(NASA) Presidential candidate, Raila Odinga as we head to the fresh polls.
According to the Standard, the leaders have said that the second in command has developed a habit of launching attack after attack against Raila, who is taking a fourth stab at the nation’s top seat. They are Kwale senator, Issah Boy and MPs Benjamin Tayari (Kinango), Kassim Tandaza (Matuga), Suleiman Dori (Msambweni).
The leaders also pointed an accusing finger at Devolution Cabinet Secretary Mwangi Kiunjuri of using relief food to hoodwink residents of this part of the nation to back the re-election of President Uhuru Kenyatta following the nullification of his win by the Supreme Court.
The team assured Raila, a former prime minister, of their support as he looks forward to ascending to power in October.
“We will move around asking people to vote for NASA and the other side (Jubilee) should also ask for votes peacefully,” said Dori during a rally in Diani Town, as quoted by the local daily.
The leaders further asked Kiunjuri to do his work instead of his underhand tactics to woo residents to vote for Uhuru.
