National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi Announces 2022 Presidential Bid

National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi has declared his bid for the presidency in 2022.

Muturi, who was controversially installed as Mt Kenya spokesman in May, stated that he is ready to steer the country on a new path by restoring order.

“What this country needs is order and to revisit the national values and ethos that the builders of this nation envisaged. Indeed, these values we espouse and which are enshrined in our Constitution are biblical. This is what inspires my desire to see a change in this country,” Muturi noted.

The 65-year-old pointed out that he has a wealth of leadership experience required to lead the nation.

"I will go to the whole country to tell Kenyans about my political ambition. I want to be the President so that I can achieve my vision of transforming Kenya for the betterment of all Kenyans," said Muturi.

“I have gone to several places and people are embracing me.”

The clerics had called on the Speaker in his Kanyuombora home to fellowship with him and pray for the country.

Muturi was speaking at his home in Mbeere North, Embu County where he hosted more than 200 bishops and clergy under the banner of ‘All Pentecostal Clergy’.

He called upon the clergy to continue praying for the country to remain peaceful and stay on the course of development ahead of next year’s elections.
