Nyamira Senator Kennedy Mong’are has officially launched his presidential bid.
Mong'are on Tuesday unveiled the National Liberal Party (NLP) at Chester House, Nairobi which he will use in his campaign.
The Senator said he is the “third force”, accusing President Uhuru Kenyatta’s administration of “running down” the country.
“It is true there are two horses out there, but I am a giraffe. I see further than they do,” said the NLP leader.
Mong’are exuded confidence in trouncing his opponents in the August general election.
He hit out at Jubilee and the Opposition coalition NASA, saying they cannot help move the country forward.
“The Jubilee government and the Opposition are like conjoined twins who are joined at the hip. They cannot help Kenya move ahead. They'll mess the country even more (if elected),” he said as reported by Nation.
The senator said Kenyans were tired of the Uhuru’s administration and that it had demonstrated incompetence over the past four years.
“The Jubilee government has hoodwinked Kenyans for the last four years. I'll lead the third and final liberation. Kenya needs to be rescued from corruption, hunger and disease. The ruling government and the opposition have nothing new to offer,” he said.
