The 2022 succession politics has been an everyday diet for the Kenyans. Most politicians have expressed their interests to be in the top most position of power in Kenya. But why is everyone craving to be in the state house.
Although everyone is keen to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta DP Ruto is currently the biggest threat to other candidates eyeing for the Presidency seat.But who will Uhuru pick to be his/her successor?
A section of law makers want to renew Uhuru’s bid to vie for the third time which himself is not interested in. But will he waved by the pressure to go against the odds and jump in the 2022 ballot by pushing for a referendum?
Deputy President William Ruto has asked the Kalenjin community not to have any worries about the 2022 succession, assuring them that “it is well planned.”
The DP said the Jubilee political gameplan was intact and there was no cause for worry.
The DP said: “Hiyo maneno ingine ya hapo mbele tumepanga sawasawa…sasa msikuwe na wasiwasi.” [All our future plans are on course. Don’t worry.]
He called on leaders to avoid divisive politics. Ruto also used the opportunity to thank former Bomet governor Isaac Rutto for accepting to work with the Jubilee.
He said: “We have held talks with this man Isaac Rutto and you know he is my agemate…he has agreed to work with us on building unity of our people.”
The DP expressed his happiness at what he said was cordial working relations among the leaders from Bomet county.
While seemingly attacking the three Kalenjin MPs over their recent remarks with regard to maize prices, the DP told the residents to shun them as they were enemies of development and out to pursue self interests.
Bomet governor Joyce Laboso, former governor Isaac Rutto, senator Christopher Langat, nominated senator Alice Milgo and Petroleum chief administrative secretary John Mosonik were also present.
Others were MPs Ronald Tonui (Bomet Central), Aisha Jumwa (Kilifi), Kimani Ichungwa (Kikuyu), Mwangi Gichui (Tetu), Beatrice Kones (Bomet East), Brighton Yegon (Konoin) and woman representative Joyce Korir.
Laboso appealed to MPs to pass the one third gender rule once it is tabled again this week for voting.
Do you think Ruto will get hundred percent support from the Rift Valley Region?
