Machakos Governor Mutua to Launch Presidential Campaign

Machakos Governor Dr. Alfred Mutua says he will launch his presidential campaign this year ahead of 2022 general elections.

While making the announcement on Twitter, Governor Mutua said he will seek to “offer Kenyans a new way of looking at the world and doing things.”

“I will officially launch my campaign to be the next president of Kenya in 2022. I will show Kenyans that it is possible for a child to be born in the villages, to dream, work hard with a pure heart and achieve his or her dream,” said Mutua.

“I will offer Kenyans a new way of looking at the world and doing things. We cannot continue thinking and doing things the same way and expecting different results. Our Time Has Come.”

Mutua, who is currently serving his second and final term as the Governor of Machakos County, described 2019 as a tough year for Kenyans, especially financially.

 “The year 2019 has been and will always be a year of ups and downs for Kenya. From the handshake, political stability and the BBI, many infrastructural developments to politics of corruption and serious economic challenges, it has been a revealing year about ourselves and our aspirations.”

“Kenyans have felt broke — business communities are hurting and the creation of jobs has been slow. The gap between the rich and the poor seems to be expanding. Financially, it has been tough,” said Mutua.
