“I want to assure the Gusii community that I am not going to let them down when it comes to political succession in this country. I am right in between President Uhuru Kenyatta and his handshake co-principal Raila Odinga and I know my space is right in between them,” he said.

While appearing to suggest he is considering to vie for the country’s top seat, Matiang’i said the Kisii region was ripe to have a presidential candidate urging the region to come out in large numbers and register as voters.

The Interior CS further revealed that he has received blessings from the elders and the Gusii community to join other national leaders in bargaining for the region’s political interests assuring them that he will be right at the center of the cake.

“I want to tell Kenyans that Kisii community will be right at the center where the national cake will be shared and we will not be watching from outside,” he added.

Matiang’i was responding to calls by area Members of Parliament who challenged him to publicly declare his State House bid.

He said President Uhuru Kenyatta and the ODM leader Raila Odinga must not be ignored when it comes to the 2022 succession matrix.
