Former Governor of Kitui County Ms Charity Ngilú has urged Kenyans and the Opposition to give President Dr William Ruto time to deliver on his promised development agenda.
Without elaborating, Ngilu said Kenyans should drop their hard stances against Ruto's leadership by giving him the benefit of doubt to perform. She however warned that should the president fail in his mandate, Kenyans were free to remove him at the appropriate time at the ballot.
The former governor declared that she was the best county boss to ever serve in the expansive devolved unit.
Speaking at ACK Church cathedral in Kitui town, the immediate former governor revealed that she was in the process of writing a memoir detailing her long career in politics.
"I am writing my book. I will write with confidence that I am the best governor Kitui has ever had", she said.
Ms Ngilu added that she was in the opposition during the era of second president of Kenya, the late Daniel Moi.
Ngilú advised the current County leadership to bring more development projects from Nairobi and not to be content with little county projects that have less impact on the lives of ordinary residents. She holds that this is one way of uplifting the living standards of Kitui County people. "Let's support the leader in power to deliver on manifesto", she said.
From her career in politics, Ngilú said that power was transient and there was need to have the interests of wananchi at heart while at the helm.
One way of promoting the welfare of citizens in Kitui is by exploring the rich mineral resources found within the borders of Kitui county. "In Kitui we are very blessed. No other county is as rich as Kitui, especially minerals", opined Ms Ngilú.
