David Musila Leads 18 Ukambani Leaders in Endorsing President Uhuru

Former Kutui senator David Musila has rallied more than 15 Ukambani region leaders behind President Uhuru Kenyatta as hr seeks re-election in the repeat poll ordered by the Supreme Court.

The former Kalonzo Musyoka-led Wiper Democratic Party chairman together with former Mwingi West MP Bernard Kitungi and 18 politicians allied to the National Super Alliance (Nasa) from Makueni on Wednesday threw their weight behind Uhuru and pledged to campaign for the re-election of President Uhuru Kenyatta.

Musila, who unsuccessfully contested for the Kitui governorship as an independent candidate, described the presidential repeat election ordered by the Supreme Court as blessing in disguise for the Kamba community to chart a different political course.

“We cannot afford to be outside the government for another five years, so the logical thing to do is to support the winning team and be assured of development,” Musila said in Kitui.

Speaking after a closed-door meeting with Kitui Jubilee leaders, Musila congratulated President Kenyatta for “winning the August election”, but said the Supreme Court robbed him the victory.

The leaders downplayed remarks by Governor Charity Ngilu that Uhuru will not get any votes in Ukambani in the fresh election saying: “We will seek votes for President Kenyatta across the entire county. He will once again win the October 17 repeat elections because his development record for Kenya and Kitui County is superior.’’Musila said.

The leaders warned their Nasa counterparts, including Governor Ngilu and Wiper MPs Gideon Mulyungi (Mwingi Central) and Makali Mulu (Kitui Central), against intimidating President Uhuru supporters in the region during the campaigns.

Musila said it would be “politically foolhardy” to endorse Nasa presidential candidate Raila Odinga and his running mate Kalonzo Musyoka.

“We can now preach the Jubilee gospel in Kitui much louder” said Ms Nyamai, the Kitui South MP.

Musila you are a looser, Ni kubweka unabweka simba yuko mlangoni na utakuliwa pamoja na hao vinyagariko wako. You are a disgrace to the Kamba Nation.

Welcome to the Jubilee Party.The Jubilee Party is growing stronger and stronger.We invite all communities in Kenya.From the Luo community,to the Kamba community,to the Kalenjins,To the communities in the coast,to all communities in the country.The jubilee Party is the party of Peace,Stability,Civil Order and Development in Kenya.Therefore, even more Kenyans are going to be attracted to the Jubilee Party.I expect that a significant number of the people that voted for Nasa are going to vote for Jubilee this time around.Kenyans are rejecting politics of chaos that come from NASA.

Neither Raila or Uhuru are fit to run for the presidency of Kenya. They are running because the corrupt, arrogant, and incompetent IEBC cleared them to run for an elective public office.

There many more Kenyans who are competent and can pass Chapter 6 of our new constitution which neither Raila nor Uhuru can pass.

Say, if you have been a lifetime vegetarian and visit friends from China or Korea. These friends make you an offer and ask you to make a choice between eating snake or rat meat. These are the choices that we have in Kenya.

I once more blame our useless IEBC for clearing many candidates who have their closets rattling with many skeletons. IEBC must go! We don't want to eat snake or rat meat: we are still vegetarians and would like to remain vegetarians.
