Baringo Senator Gideon Moi has called upon political leaders to respect President Uhuru Kenyatta.
He said this while on a tour of Faza Island in Lamu East Constituency in Lamu County, where he was on a Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) popularisation campaign.
“Let all Kenyans respect President Uhuru Kenyatta. He is the President till August 2022 and when he leaves, whoever will be elected will also want to be respected,’’ said Moi.
Moi said the benefits of BBI to Lamu East residents are many and therefore asked them to support it.
Mohamed s candidacy in Nairobi is being sold as the alternative between the extremes of President Uhuru Kenyatta and opposition leader Raila Odinga s choice candidate on one hand, and Deputy President William Ruto s on the other.
“It is true I am under enormous pressure, and I am giving it serious consideration. You and I no doubt agree that Nairobi deserves better than what we have, and what we have had. We will spend 80 per cent of our lives here and will most likely die here, so why not,” Mohamed said when contacted.
He said he never quit politics, but opted to play a background role in shaping leadership and governance, especially in counties.
