Kisii MPs Endorse CS Fred Matiang'i to Deputize William Ruto in 2022

Three Kisii legislators on Sunday stated that Interior and National Coordination Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i was the best person to deputize William Ruto in the 2022 presidential race.

Speaking on Sunday during a fundraiser in South Mugirango constituency, area MP Silvanus Osoro stated that the CS's stellar performance in President Uhuru Kenyatta's cabinet was evidence that he is a performer.

“Our brother Matiang’i has performed exemplarily in his duties as a Cabinet Secretary for the last five years earning praise from Kenyans, we believe he is the best candidate to be the Deputy President of Kenya in 2022,” he conveyed.

His sentiments were echoed by Bonchari MP John Oyioka who maintained that: “Our Brother Matiang’i is hardworking and does not tolerate nonsense, he represents the true character of our people who value honesty and integrity in everything that they do.”

Similarly nominated Senator Millicent Omanga assured that the Gusii community would support DP Ruto's presidential bid urging that the duo had the winning formula.

“Deputy President William Ruto is assured of winning the Presidency in 2022 with our brother Fred Matiang’i as the Deputy President, they make a good combination since they are both workaholics,” she stated.

On the other hand, Matiang'i who was present for the event steered cleared of the succession debate focussing more on development for the region.

“Our people are interested in development, I would therefore like to call on Governor James Ongwae, Senator Sam Ongeri and all the legislators from Kisii County to join hands to champion the interests of our people,” said Matiang’i.

Earlier in April, a section of Kisii Ward representatives endorsed CS Matiang'i for the deputy president position.
