Surrender Power to Raila, Kitui Governor Ngilu Tells President Uhuru

Kitui Governor Charity Ngilu has told President Kenyatta to surrender power to opposition leader Raila Odinga, because he is illegitimately in office.

Ngilu, who was fired as Cabinet Secretary for Lands in President Uhuru's administration said that Odinga trounced Jubilee in the annulled August 8th election, and should therefore hand over power.

"We are firm that whoever lost the election should go home and whoever won should occupy statehouse and run the country. On December 12 the winner will no doubt be sworn into office," Ngilu said.

The Governor, who spoke at Nthongoni area in Kitui during the burial ceremony of Jeremiah Kisangau, father to Kitui county assembly Minority leader John Kisangau said Odinga will be sworn in on Tuesday, and she will be a key speaker during the inauguration.

"The country is hurting. It is hurting because we know very well that the person who took the Bible and swore (as president) did not win the election this year. He should not have done that. For that reason, we should continue reminding Uhuru Kenyatta that he was defeated fairly and squarely by Raila Amolo Odinga," Ngilu said.

"We do not want be told about peace. What kind of peace? Peace without food, peace in poverty, peace without children education, peace with women labouring for water, peace when the high and mighty are eating while the lowly suffer is a big No. Keep that peace to yourself. God will help us all," the governor said.

"How can it be possible that two people can lead a country of 42 million people, tell them they are leading badly," she added.
