Outspoken Bahati Member of Parliament, Kimani Ngunjiri has expressed his dissatisfaction after being left out of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) meeting.
On Thursday, September 2, Deputy President William Ruto presided over a UDA meeting with Nakuru leaders at his official Karen residence.
In a statement on Friday, September 3, the legislator, a close ally of William Ruto lamented that the UDA meeting at the DP’s residency did not involve elected leaders from Nakuru, except one Member of Parliament from Nakuru East.
“It is rather unfortunate that this group led by the aspiring Governor did not see the need to involve other elected representatives from Nakuru to go and present issues affecting hustlers in their respective constituencies,” he said.
Ngunjiri said the manner in which people purport to speak on behalf of Nakuru residents is cropping back adding that he will not allow that to happen.
He said the move will only mean that the people of Nakuru will have no say when William Ruto becomes president.
“As a senior MP and the leader of Nakuru County legislators, I will not allow this to happen because it will only mean that the people of this great county will have no say when our able DP William Ruto will assume the seat of the presidency in 2022,” he stated.
While addressing the grassroots leaders from Bahati, Subukia, Nakuru East, Nakuru West, Molo, and Rongai Constituencies at his Karen residence in Nairobi, Ruto used the chance to hit back at Interior CS Fred Matiang’i who had previously made public a list of some multi-billion properties owned by Ruto.
“I saw they wrote the acreage, they would have said I have 200,000 chicken. They would say ‘this person sells 150,000 eggs per day, making KSh 1.5 Million every day,” he said.
