The former Kitutu Masaba Member of Parlianment Timothy Bosire has now urged the Abagusii community to say together as it will benefit them in future.
He warned the community in Nairobi if they failed to work together will remain sidelined .
While speaking at Embakasi South constituency the ODM leader asked the community to back ODM candidate for Irshad Sumra running for the Embakasi South parliamentary seat.
He further added saying, “I have worked with Raila for 18 years. We were in LDP, ODM, CORD, NASA and now back in our ODM. He’s a truthful man and holds no grudge. His humility and compassion is overwhelming. For now, let’s support the handshake.”
In addition he said, if the community continued working with ODM, Raila Odinga could pick him or any other competent person as finance minister should he take over in 2022.
“When mzee (Raila) manages to get it (presidency), then don’t be surprised if am appointed finance minister. I can do the job well,” said Bosire
Mr Bosire is a trained economist and worked at National Treasury before quitting to form his own business empire.
He said that should Sumra take over in April, he will support a candidate from Abagusii community in 2022 elections at the cosmopolitan constituency in Nairobi County.
Present at the event were Dagoretti North MP Simba Arati, ODM Secretary General Edwin Sifuna, party Executive Director Oduor Ongweng among others. Campaigns are set to end early next week.
