Narok Senator Ledama Olekina now says governors who have served for two terms should not be considered for appointment into government.
In a statement on Thursday, the two-time senator said the former county bosses should consider running for the highest office on land or venture into other activities.
"Either prepare to run for presidency or become a farmer…meanwhile take a long vacation," Ledama said in a tweet.
A number of former governors are in the inner cycle of the Kenya Kwanza administration by virtue of their close relations with President William Ruto.
They include former Turkana Governor Josphat Nanok who Ruto appointed as the head of his campaign secretariat.
Former Makueni Governor Kivutha Kibwana is also in the inner cycles of the Kenya Kwanza regime having decamped from Azimio on August 23.
"We associate with the leadership that Kivutha Kibwana has manifested in agreeing to work with us in furthering our country’s development agenda," Ruto said when receiving Kibwana at his Karen home in Nairobi.
Ruto said Kibwana would be part of the Kenya Kwanza legal team in the presidential election petition.
The immediate former Kisii Governor James Ongwae also recently joined the Ruto fold and said he is ready to work with him and support his government.
Ongwae ditched Azimio in favour of Kenya Kwanza alongside his former deputy Joash Maangi.
Although it's not given, the close association of the former county bosses with Ruto is highly expected to be rewarded with appointments of some sort.
Traditionally, and particularly in Kenya, political loyalists are rewarded either with state appointments or ambassadorial roles.
