 Raila Promises to Retain CS Matiang'i in His Government

Azimio La Umoja-One Kenya coalition party presidential candidate Raila Odinga has come to the defense of Interior Cabinet Secretary Dr. Fred Matiang’i over the regular attacks from leaders allied to Deputy President William Ruto.

While vowing to absorb Matiang’i into his government if he clinches the presidency in the upcoming elections, Odinga hailed the Interior CS as a great leader, saying that he was being targeted for his boldness in serving the country.

“Fred Matiang’i we have come a long way and he has done a good job. We have worked with him for a long time but he is now being opposed by those other people whom you know…They are really attacking him but he is under Baba’s shield,” Odinga said during a tour of Nyamira County on Friday.

“I will protect him. Here on the ground, I can see you (voters) are standing strong with Matiang’i… and up there I will be standing with him. We will continue working with him after the 9th of August.” 

At the same time, Odinga accused Kenya Kwanza Alliance leaders of up against Mataing’i because he was opposed to their alleged vices.

“He is a man who knows how to do his work and that is why the criminals are fighting him; wale wakora wanampiga kwa sababu ya ile kazi nzuri ambayo anaifanya,” Odinga remarked.

Leaders allied to Ruto have been calling for the resignation of Matiang’i for endorsing Odinga’s presidential bid, and also linked him with an alleged plot to rig the forthcoming elections in favor of the ODM party leader.

  1. If you are having hard time…
    If you are having hard time deciding who gets your presidential vote,I suggest to cast your vote for a new candidate,even Mr. Ganja is better that those old candidates that have been in government for years,or originate from dynasty of politicians.
    If they havent made “your life better” by now what makes you think that they will when elected”again”. Vote for the dark horse.The two leading horses are piling promises after promises when they are well connected to influence change or have been in government for decades.
    Give Mr. Ganja your vote.What do you have to lose anyway. At least he will hang corrupt individuals.That’s good enough for me.
