“We will
vote for UhuRuto but in the grassroots, we will make our individual
decision because we are the ones who know whether they can deliver
better than the President and his deputy. We plead with the duo to leave
the job of voting for leaders at county levels to residents,” Mary
Njuguna a Kiambu resident said.
“They made their
promise to Kenyans that they will only seek their votes and leave the
rest of the seats to Wanjiku to decide. We won’t repeat the mistake we
made in 2013. Let them not impose leaders on voters. Instead, they
should leave the democratic space to Kenyans to vote for leaders of
their choice,” Denis Kili, a resident was given said.
“You
Kiambu people should know that you are Jubilee County number one and
other counties are taking a bearing from Kiambu. If you mix while voting
you will mislead other counties,” President Kenyatta said.
“You should put a straight line from President Uhuru, governor, senator, MPs and MCAs.” he added.
“We plead with you to support them so that we can have one government with full parliament backing.” Uhuru urged the residents.
President
Kenyatta faced hostility after he made some remarks referring to Kiambu
Jubilee governor candidate Ferdinand Waititu, and Thika Town MP
candidate Alice Ng’ang’a. Alice was heckled when she was given time to
speak with the residents.
