President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto have urged Kambas to desert Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka and support Jubilee’s second term in office.
The two said that the Akamba will be safer in Jubilee than NASA because Kalonzo is not on the presidential ballot and opposition is bound to lose. The DP was quick to distance himself from the race due to the recent remarks by Kalonzo that he (Ruto) is the problem in government. Ruto also promised to work with Musyoka in 2022.
“I have heard my friend Kalonzo say he has no problem with Uhuru, but some few issues with me. Since the race this round is between Uhuru and Raila, I am asking him to vote for Uhuru then we will sort out our differences in 2022. Kalonzo and I can agree on a formula in 2022 and in the event we don’t agree, we will square it out. But for now I am asking Kambas to walk with us in forming the next government,” Ruto said as quoted by the Star.
DP Ruto also outlined the development achievements by the government in the region. He reminded locals that this has been initiated despite them overwhelmingly voting for the opposition in the last polls.
“In Machakos county alone we have tarmacked a 260km road network and connected 130,000 households to electricity. We have also [rehabilitated] the Yatta Canal, which was last done during the colonial times,” Ruto said as reported by the paper.
