MCAs who visited DP Ruto are self-seekers, says Kitui Speaker

 The County Assembly of Kitui has distanced itself from the MCAs who visited Deputy President Dr William Ruto’s residence for two days under the pretext of supporting his 2022 presidential bid.

Speaker George Ndotto said the MCAs were self-seekers and perpetual party hoppers who can be hired by anyone. “UDA party has no representation in Kitui County Assembly and those MCAs who we were hosted by Hon Dr William Ruto at his home for two days are well known party self-seekers and perpetual party hoppers who can be hired by anyone. We strongly dissociate the County Assembly of Kitui with their actions.”, he said in a presser sent to newsrooms.

The Speaker declared Kitui County to be Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka’s stronghold and called for his support in next year’s general elections. He also called upon the Governor of Kitui County Charity Ngilu to be respected.
