Nairobi Governor hopeful Johnson Sakaja has admitted that there is lack of inclusivity in government, adding that opposition will find it easy to blame the incumbent government for the vice.
Speaking to during an interview with Citizen TV's Cheche show on Wednesday, Sakaja blamed the previous governments for lack of regional balance in government appointments, but said the Jubilee administration was on the verge of dealing with the wrongdoing.
"I know it is fashionable for the opposition to say that the government is not inclusive. The problem of inclusivity is one that has been there with us for many years. You cannot come in as a government and say that we are going to fire people just because of their tribe," he said
"I think it is only the Jubilee government that has tried to solve the problem of inclusiveness in the country with cabinet ministers being appointed from across the country," he added.
Sakaja also accused ODM party leader of being a biased individual who would not be able saying he would not solve the problem of inclusivity if elected to power.
"When the former Prime Minister had an opportunity to nominate cabinet ministers 90 percent of them were from Luo Nyanza," said the nominated senator.
