The governor, who spoke at Emali town, Kibwezi West, on Friday when he commissioned Emali modern bus station, said that the Jubilee side is wasting its time and resources campaigning in Ukambani because it is not going to win like they did in 2013.
"Uhuru won last election by a small margin just because Raila and ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi were not together," he added: Now that they are in the same camp and have poached Bomet Governor Isac Rutto, Jubilee will lose terribly," he said.
He also said that the recent tour in Ukambani will not change the political situation in the region ahead of the August general elections.
The county boss, who is seeking re-election said that Uhuru’s team has come to Ukambani when it is too late, adding that the region is strongly behind National Super Alliance (NASA) presidential candidate Raila Amolo Odinga as we head to the August general elections.
Kibwana said that the Jubilee leadership did not listen to the people of Ukambani for the last four years only to turn up with goodies to convince them to back their re-election, which he said will not work.
