Professionals drawn from Ukambani region have lauded wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka for his move to work with ODM Leader Raila Odinga.
Speaking at a Sagret Hotel, the professionals led by Raphael Muli said Kalonzo’s move guarantees them to be in the next government.
They said Raila stands a chance to win the presidential race in August and that he will accommodate professionals from Ukambani in his cabinet.
“Ukambani region and the larger lower Eastern has suffered constant water shortages, we need dams to be put up so that farmers can get water. That will be the best way to help the farmers,” said Muli.
Muli who is a Public health specialist, added that as professionals from Ukambani, they are ready to serve in Raila’s government.
“The Kamba Nation is full of brains. In the current cabinet, we have Energy CS Monica Juma among other top senior civil servants. We have asked our people to support President Uhuru Kenyatta, his brother Raila Odinga and Kalonzo Musyoka. Raila will get at least 95 percent of the Kamba vote,” Muli added.
Muli also reiterated that the business community in Eastern region wants the next government to provide a conducive environment for trade.
He said once barriers to trade are removed, many business people will be able to make profits.
On March 12th , Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka shelved his presidential ambitions to support Raila Odinga.
