Mwingi Central constituency National Rainbow
coalition (Narc) hopeful Julius Muinde Mutukaa urged contestants in the area to
avoid chaotic and abusive politics.
He lamented that some contestants especially those
in the Wiper party were fueling enmity against their opponents and warned that
the Narc party will take advantage of the ongoing wrangles within the Wiper
party to grab political seats in Kitui County.
Mr Mutukaa was speaking to the press after presiding
over a Diocesan Harambee for Mwingi Catholic Parish on Sunday, October 9, 2016.
“I wish to urge all the aspirants and their
supporters in Mwingi Central to carry out peaceful campaigns that are free from
abusive utterances and violence,” said Mutukaa.
Mr Mutukaa who is a prominent educationist and a
close ally of the Narc party leader and former Lands Cabinet Secretary Ms Charity
Ngilu faulted some leaders whom he said were “chest thumping” and making
“disrespectful” remarks against the incumbent Joe Mutambu.
“The campaigns have not yet started but
interestingly some of my aspirants are even attacking the siting MP Joe Mutambu
claiming that they have already won the elections. We need to respect the
incumbent and allow him finish his term,” he said.
The contest to unseat Mr Mutambu who has indicated
lineage to the newly formed Jubilee party has attracted big wigs in the area with
some of them engaging in scathing attacks against their opponents.
Some of the aspirants include Former Public Works
ministry Permanent secretary Dr Gideon Mulyungi, Former Law society of Kenya
(LSK) Erick Mutua and Former DC Musikali Mutemi who are set to scramble for the
nomination ticket in the Wiper party.
Others are Mr Mutukaa (Narc), Former Governor Julius
Malombe’s political advisor Charles Kyale and former Machakos School Principal
Mr David Kilonzi.
Mr Mutukaa who was accompanied by Kitui County
Assembly Deputy Minority Leader and Kiomo/Kyethani ward MCA Mr Peter Mutemi
used the moment to refute claims that he was being sponsored by Mr Mutambu to
spoil for some Wiper candidates.
“Those propagating such claims are people led by
pure malice and have no idea of who I am. I have never been supported by Joe
Mutambu and they should know am in the race I will be the next MP for Mwingi
Central on a Narc ticket,” he stated.
He asked his contesters to engage on issue based
politics based on their manifestos and avoid spreading false allegations and
onslaughts against their opponents. “Instead of wasting their time attacking
others let them allow the electorate to listen to their manifestos,” said Mr
Mutukaa
