Remember to keep your promise in 2022; URP Mps tell their TNA counterparts

By Michael Wesonga

Uasin Gishu, Kenya: Jubilee leaders from the former Rift Valley province have cautioned their counterparts from the central region from negating their give back promise to Deputy President William Ruto come 2022.

 Uasin Gishu governor Jackson Mandago cautioned that the days of pampering each other with empty enticing flatters were long gone.

“You must make sure that when your time to give back comes, it is either of the same measure or better lest you meet the consequences because the era of deception has come to an end,” he cautioned.

To that end, he called for a United Republican Party (URP) strategy meeting to that end given  that The National Alliance (TNA) had already held theirs.

“We must also call for a meeting to organize ourselves like TNA and look for more friends for the sake of our posterity,” he challenged the party.

The leader was responding to a call by  Bahati Constituency MP Ngunjiri Kimani appeal to his colleagues in central to keep their word to avoid a reproach if they violate their word.

 “You must remember that the rest of us are in Rift Valley and therefore be sure to constantly remind your colleagues to keep their word to Ruto when your turn comes lest we suffer reproach,” he appealed.

 Speaker of the National Assembly Justin Muturi who presided over the homecoming party of URP’s Uasin Gishu women representative Ursula Ngeny on behalf of Deputy President William Ruto urged central MPs to honor their words.

 “Ngunjiri must continue reminding his counterparts from the former central province that a promise is a debt.”

Muturi re-instated that promise ought to be fair and natural while advising against the political tricks witnessed in the 60s.

He added that it was time to live in a country where leaders make promises they implement without fail.

 He reminded the leaders that peace could only be achieved if leaders learn to keep their word without fail.

“It will be the responsibility of the leaders to ensure they live up to their words by ensuring it is being translated right down to the grassroots,” he Muturi affirmed. 

Deputy speaker Dr. Joyce Laboso teased her central counterparts to learn to number their days as they prepare way for them.

“Ngunjiri must remind them that it will be our turn to take the throne eight years from now come 2022,” Dr. Laboso added.
