The Budalangi Member of Parliament said Uhuru has been a performer since he was elected, therefore deserves another chance.
“Uhuru has been president for the last four years. We have been able to observe his performance in his demeanor. And for me politics is about service, politics is about transformation,” Ababu said.
Speaking during an interview on a local television station, the legislature pointed out that in his tenure, Uhuru has been able to addressed majority of problems facing Budalangi residents.
“Talking about Budalangi for instance the constituency I represent, I can confidently look at the eyes of people in Budalangui and say Uhuru has been able to listen to some of their concerns and has been able to fix them,” he said.
“River Nzoia in the Bualangi has been one of the biggest challenge in that constituency. Every president has been at that river and promised a bridge.”
“We invited president Uhuru Kenyatta, he came and made a commitment to have a bridge constructed. As I speak now a bridge is almost complete and in the next one or two months I expect the president to come to open that bridge,” the former ODM secretary general stated.
“Now, if that is not performance then I don’t know what performance is.”
