Speaking on Sunday during the homecoming ceremony of Borabu Member of Parliament Ben Momanyi, the MP said that Mr Arati had proved to be a hardworking young politician.

"Mr Arati has proven to be a hardworking young politician who has beaten many odds to win an elective seat in Nairobi twice. I ask other leaders to come out so that we support Mr Arati's political ambitions," he said.

He said that there was no need for leaders from the region to hit on the city MP saying that he was entitled to run for any political seat that he wanted.

"Mr Arati's move is bold and I would like to assure him of my support as he has already been crowned as our spokesman in Kisii. I believe he is a genuine leader who has the goodwill of the people at heart," he said.

The sentiments were echoed by Bonchari Member of Parliament Oroo Oyioka who also said that he is willing to work with Mr Arati to achieve his political ambitions in the future.
