The Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i has been advocated by a lot of people to vie for the President post simply because he has been diligent at what he does which satisfys Kenyans as well as the President.
According to Nakuru Town West MP Samuel Arama Presidency should not only go to specific tribes.
While he was speaking at his National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF) he said, “We have the likes of Dr Fred Matiang’i who has shown that he has qualities to be the next President of Kenya and I will push my community to have him on the ballot because we must show the other communities that this seat is not their preserve.”
In addition he said, “These communities are talking passionately about the 2022 presidential race as if the other communities including the Kisii, which has produced the most hardworking Cabinet Secretary, Dr Fred Matiang’i, have no capacity to produce a presidential candidate.”
He said that this “retrogressive and selfish thinking” has trickled down to cosmopolitan counties such as Nakuru.
“If today I declare my interest to vie for the Nakuru governor’s seat, there will be a lot of noise and I will be branded an outsider simply because I am Kisii and I don’t come from the three big communities,” said Mr Arama.
He added, “Even getting a deputy governor’s seat in Nakuru County if you’re not a Kalenjin or Kikuyu is an uphill task even if your development record is as good as mine.”
