Mount Kenya Business Leaders Promise To Support Raila’s Presidential Bid.

The business tycoons and politicians from Mount Kenya region endorsed Odinga as the ideal successor to the foundation laid by President Uhuru Kenyatta.

This was in a gathering held in Nairobi on Tuesday that brought together business tycoons and political elite from all over the Mount Kenya region.

“We want somebody who will takeover and there will be continuity in the kind of development projects that have been started. Secondly, somebody who will not disturb our businesses and thirdly somebody who we can sit with and agree on how to go forward,” said Titus Ibui, Mt. Kenya Foundation Vice Chairman.

“Nobody ever thought that you could climb Mt. Kenya and climb down without slipping,” stated Peter Munga, Mt. Kenya Foundation Chairman.

Odinga’s presence at the Mount Kenya region was marked as a triumphant entry as the leaders vowed to campaign for the former Prime Minister ahead of the 2022 presidential contest.

“If you are going to Mt. Kenya, you don’t have to look for followers. Followers will come to you so long as you inspire them. So, you don’t have to seek followers,” added Mr. Munga.

“We must change the narrative. Our previous task was to tarnish Raila’s name and attack him. I don’t want to repeat those words,” said Nyandarua Governor Francis Kimemia.

“You started climbing the mountain yesterday. Ordinarily it takes seven days to climb the mountain. Yesterday you started and went halfway within one day. The next time he does it, he will be at the peak,” said Kieni MP Kanini Kega.
