A section of Jubilee leaders have told Bomet Governor Isaac Ruto to prepare for a heavy defeat come 2017 general election.
Led by Leader of Majority Aden Duale, the leaders claimed the Chama Cha Mashinani (CCM) leader was importing voters from neighboring counties ahead of the polls.
They were speaking on Saturday in Bomet, when they accompanied President Uhuru Kenyatta to launch several development projects, including a university.
“The decision of who becomes the Governor of Bomet will be made by the people of Bomet and no one else. Imported voters will not help you,” said Duale.
Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Murkomen accused the governor of wasting money that would have been used to develop Bomet on his personal issues like promoting a political party.
“We have never heard of Isaac Ruto launching any development project. All we hear him do is opening party branches and he is using money meant for the people of Bomet,” he said.
Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly Joyce Laboso, who has declared interest in Ruto’s seat, said no one should hoodwink Kenyans that the support for Jubilee in Bomet could ever be in doubt.
“We have maximum support in Bomet,” said Laboso.
Bomet Central MP Ronald Tonui also criticised the Governor whom he said does not have the interest of the people at heart.
“We want to use this place to benefit our youth not to store waste as Isaac Ruto wants,” said the MP.
