Turkana Governor Josephat Nanok has vowed to remain a die hard sycophant of the Deputy President William Ruto though he was elected on an ODM ticket.
Nanok who is serving his last term in office said it was time the country’s leadership focused on the problems of ordinary Kenyans other than creating seats for ODM leader Raila Odinga and friends.
“We are going to work with the Deputy President because it is under him that the poor and small businesses will be empowered,” Nanok said.
Nanok spoke at the home of Bahati Mp Kimani Nguri in Nakuru where Ruto was meeting with grassroots leaders from the Turkana.He further stressed that his new path is heavy on development that will do away with poverty, negative ethnicity, and hypocrisy.
Dp Ruto's political propaganda or narrative capture power in 2022 is designed to woo small scale traders who are the majority. Nanok also said that intensified conversation on such traders can only confirm that the country was lost on a wrong path to eradicating poverty.
The governor led Senator Malachy Ekal (Turkana), MPs Christopher Nakuleu (Turkana North), John Lodepe (Turkana Central), Joyce Emanikor (Woman Rep, Turkana) to Ruto meeting.
Ruto who was the chief guest at the event claimed that the conversation on the poor and the ordinary would put Kenya on a lane to a great transformation. “The journey may be arduous and difficult. But this is the time for us to talk about the poor. It must go on,” he said. Gatundu South Mp Kuria who also spoke at the meeting warned Jubilee Party secretary general Raphael Tuju to prepare for a battle of a lifetime. He also said Tuju is an ODM mole who will never bring down Jubilee.
