Nyeri MCAs vow to support Mary Wambui for the Othaya seat

"It's Mary Wambui " TNA told

The nullification of Mary Wambui’s seat as a Member of Parliament in the Othaya Constituency, may have just drawn yet another battle line between the Former Presidents’ wife and business lady Mary Wambui and top country’s politicians among them president Uhuru Kenyatta and Retired President Kibaki who has a stake in the Constituency which he served in. 

The nullification of the seat, that has been seen as an ill motive to deny Wambui her constitutional right has however been countered by several leaders allied to the rulling Jubilee coalition and TNA party who have vowed to ensure she retains her seat. The battle that started long ago before the elections saw her opponents cry foul about the academic credentials of the business lady, a plot that failed.

Even as the constituency prepares for yet another by-election, the Nyeri county Members of Assembly have showed their support for Mary Wambui and have stated that they are going to campaighn on her behalf and to ensure she retains the seat. Speaking on Saturday, the MCAs led by majority leader Mwangi Kibuu noted that Wambui had initiated many projects in Othaya and had also helped many people from the area and so she deserves the seat.

Meanwhile, Wamagana county rep, Jesee Mwangi urged the TNA party to issue a direct nomination certificate to Mary Wambui to defend her seat and continue with the good work she had began. He assured the party that they were ready to offer any support to ensure Mary Wambui retains her seat. The MCAs also threw their weight behind TNA party national chairman, Johnson Sakaja and Secretary General, Onyango Oloo. They noted that the leaders had conducted the party primaries well and had all the reasons to retain their seats.

Uhuru to make a two-day visit to Nyanza

Uhuru to make a two-day visit to Nyanza 

The announcement of the visit by the president to the Nyanza province early March, is a welcomed move. The region that overwhelmingly voted for the Cord Coalition presidential candidate, Rt. Hon Raila Odinga and Kalonzo Musyoka, must rise above all sorts of political inequality and inferiority and embrace the leadership of his Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta.

The president will be visiting the region of course for a second time since assuming office, to monitor the development projects that are on course as well as meet the leaders of the region to discuss their agenda for the region.

Again, it wont be suprising to hear peoples analogy that the president is visiting the region to woo the people of Nyanza province. Politics could as well play its role during the visit just as during the funeral of the late KNUT secretary, Okuta Osiany, in which the president had also come to pay his last respects.

The president is expected to visit Kisumu county, Migori county, Homa Bay and Kisii counties during his two day visits to inspect all the development projects.
