I’m going for the presidency because I am able. The wind of change is blowing across the country and people want leaders they can trust. #K24SundayEdition

“I have traversed all corners of this country and everywhere Kenyans want rapid development. Mutua was quoted
And because it is possible to transform this country to the 1st world, I have after being convinced by elders and Wananchi from all over the country decided to run for the seat of the presidency in 2022,” said Mutua.
In 2017 , elders from the Kamba region anointed Mutua to run for President in 2022.
The leaders gave Dr Mutua a quiver, bow and arrows and crowned him as the Kamba community spokesman.
“I accept with humility your proposal that I run for the Presidency in 2022,” said Dr Mutua while addressing leaders from Machakos, Makueni, Kitui, Kwale and Taita -Taveta at the People’s Park in Machakos.
He said Kamba elders had asked him to convene the meeting to chart the direction of the community.
“We have done a lot of work in agriculture and other departments even the people park where you are seated was a bush,” said Dr Mutua.
He said he did not quit Wiper Party but was forced out since his agenda was to deliver services to the people.
“I said I should plan my destiny by forming Maendeleo Chap Chap Party instead of waiting to be disappointed like senators David Musila and Johnstone Muthama and others, “said Dr Mutua.
He said the party was fielding candidates across the country.
Governor Mutua said the Kamba community had missed out in major government appointments because of being in the opposition.
Among the key areas Mutua’s manifesto is prioritising include Education, interest free table banking for women, construction and improvement of county roads, street lighting and creation of 250,000 jobs by 2020.
In 2017 ,Mutua pledged to introduce a higher education scholarship fund to pay fees for all form four leavers admitted for a certificate, diploma, higher diploma, or a degree course. The programme took off in August 15 2017. The local bursary fund in the county was expanded from Sh80 million to Sh200 million, according to the manifesto.
