Murang’a leaders now want Hon. Peter Kenneth to be the deputy President of whoever President Uhuru Kenyatta will endorse as his successor.
Speaking during a funds drive in a church in Murang’a County, the leaders said that it was the time one of their own ascended to power, but nothing short of Deputy President Position in the coming administration. There has been political jostling around Mt. Kenya region due to the fact that there is no formidable political leader who will fly the region’s flag in next year’s general elections, as a presidential contestant.
The leaders – who comprised of Mary Waithera (Maragua), Joseph Nduati (Gatanga), Peter Kimari (Mathioya), and Ruth Wangari (Kigumo) – observed that it’s time for a Murang’a son to ascend to one of the top seats in the land. The leaders, who were speaking at Kihoya AIPCA church in Kangema, said that Murang’a County was fully behind President Uhuru Kenyatta’s twin presidential bids, of which the president won on both occasions.
“We are fully behind the President and we will continue to support his development agenda as well as his moves to unite the country. Those who claim the Jubilee administration has not done much, are hypocrites,” noted MP Wangari.
The leaders were speaking as they accompanied Mr. Kenneth, and promised that they would continue to support the president’s efforts to bring development projects in all parts of the country.
On his part, Peter Kenneth, popularly referred to by his supports as PK, admitted that he is fully behind the president and that he would always support his agenda. “If I get any position in the next government, I will not let the people of this region down,” added Kenneth.
PK went ahead to caution people of central against falling onto the hands of leaders who may drag the country into animosity. He further advised that it is humility that would earn people dividends. “Humility is key in every leader. If you don’t have respect and humility, how can you lead millions of Kenyans from a diverse ethnic background?” he posed.
