Former Presidential Candidate Japheth Kaluyu Expresses Interest in Working in President Uhuru's Government
Former Independent presidential candidate Japheth Kavinga Kaluyu has expressed his interest in working in President Uhuru Kenyatta’s administration.
The former US-based scholar said he has a passion to serve Kenyans as a leader and would not hesitate to take up any position if the president comes calling.
“Mimi akiniambia kama rais wangu kuwa ni lazima nijenge nchi, ni lazima niongoze watu. Mimi nitaongoza. Just because I was defeated does not mean I cannot lead. Leading has to be beyond elections,” Kavinga told NTV on Monday.
Kavinga said any position touching on diaspora, foreign affairs or education would suit him best owing to his career as a professor and the experience with people from different parts of the world.
“Nimepata mashuhuri, skills muzuri sana nikiwa university dean. I am a product of Wall street and all that I have gained a lot. I have trained people from Nigeria and other countries and states like the state of New Jersey. Ndio maana niko na skills mingi kutoka diaspora end, foreign affairs, education. Hizo zote naeza kufanya na a lot of performance,” he said.
Kaluyu was among seven other presidential candidates for the October 26th repeat presidential election ordered by the Supreme Court after the invalidation of August 8th poll.

Kaluyu we both need to keep attending those Kiswahili lessons.No more skipping. This diasporian should work with Matiang'i to raise the standard of colleges in the country to enable them compete with the rest of the world. Don't disappoint like Akombe.
Kalulu.I knew it! And AUKOT is Waiting to Pounce too. But Rubbish!!! and What a Cheap Way of Looking for a Government Job. And how Many VOTES (or Vote %ntage) are you SHIFTING to Uhuru to Warrant Him Giving You a Job? Think about it.
Can you mind me Jealousy falls under what commandment miss christian?
Mugi. May the Lord Almighty SRIKE you on My Behalf. Amen!!!
Baniani mbaya kiatu chake hakiwezi kuwa dawa. This was the same government that you were criticising when you invited Kenyans to statehouse to eat goats when you win as if you can even buy half a chicken.Such opportunists even UK has to be wise. Why recycle election losers by awarding them plum jobs what message are you sending to the electorate.
Your education qualifies you to work with the government. Your courage to front your name as a Presidential candidate shows you are bold and courageous. But your after thought came too late. When you list on 8/8, that was the time to back Uhuru and JUBILEE. Your timing is wrong.
