Give Peter Kenneth a Gov’t Job, Raila Pleads with President Kenyatta
Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader Raila Odinga has pleaded with President Kenyatta to appoint former Gatanga MP Peter Kenneth to a government position.
Odinga said Kenneth deserves a role in government due to his vast experience, describing him as a gentleman.
He spoke on Thursday when he accompanied President Kenyatta to the burial of Kenneth’s mother, Mama Rahab Wambui in Gatanga, Murang’a County.
“We are here to condole with you for losing Mama Rahab, who brought up this man ‘Muthongo wa Gatanga’ (Kenneth’s nickname) into the gentleman he is…. His ways, the way he handles his business and the way he presents himself you can see he is a gentleman. So, Mr. President, this man needs to be given a job in government,” said Odinga.
He added: “He (Kenneth) has worked for the government before, in the banking and insurance sectors. He also loves football and that is something we have in common…”
Odinga further called on leaders to rally behind Kenyatta's renewed fight on corruption.
“We want to work together for the sake of the country. The country cannot move forward if we don’t unite and support this fight against corruption. There is no need of shifting blame, what we want to see is justice being served and the truth known,” said Odinga.
Ms. Wambui passed away while undergoing treatment at Aga Khan Hospital in Nairobi on July 18th.

Peter Kenneth needs to hire the youth who are jobless. He does not need a government job. It is sickening to see the old men recycled over and over.
