  • By David Muchui in Meru Restore and Build Kenya (RBK) party presidential aspirant James Ole Kiyiapi has called on Kenyans to seek unity ahead of elections so as to assure the country of economic growth and prosperity. Speaking in Meru town where he met leaders from Meru County to popularize his party and sell his agenda, Kiyiapi asserted that Kenyans must agree to elect capable leaders who will empower Kenyans to create wealth. “What this country needs are capable leaders who can manage our resources to eradicate poverty. Kenyans should agree on the kind of leaders they want to take over leadership positions. We need to do away with those who use their positions to benefit themselves at the expense of voters,” Prof Kiyiapi said. The RBK flag bearer noted that the country is endowed with numerous resources but corruption has hindered the common Mwananchi from benefitting. “Kenya is blessed with a lot of resources which can help uplift the lives of all Kenyans. But bad leadership has made these resources to be of little help to Kenyans. Kenyans need to learn from the past and choose the right leaders,” he said. Prof Kiyiapi accused the government of failing to stump out corruption which he attributed to lack of will among those in power. “Voters should make the right decision this time round and Kenyans must make leaders more accountable. We should stop blame games and start questioning our leaders when they go wrong. Without zeal from the public, this country will not win the war against corruption,” he added. The former permanent Secretary said if elected his government will embark on transformation of the education and transport systems as well as ensuring food security in all parts of the country. “I will ensure that the economy of this country grows to benefit all Kenyans. RBK will bring about good governance to serve all Kenyans irrespective of their ethnicity or economic status. We will empower the youth to be job creators because there are job opportunities are not enough,” Kiyiapi remarked. He said his track record as a permanent secretary in various ministries shows that he is capable of running the country as the president and warned Kenyans against being compromised with money by aspirants. Prof. Kiyiapi said he is best placed to take over the presidency next year. ENDS…
  • By David Muchui The Njuri Ncheke Supreme Council has refuted reports by the Star Newspaper on 8th August, 2012 that the Council of elders is warming up to Eldoret North MP William Ruto’s presidential bid terming it untrue. Led by the Chairman Mr. Paul M’Ethinkia and Secretary General Mr. Phares Rutere, the elders termed the report an embarrassment to the council threatening to take legal action against the Newspaper. “We the Ameru Njuri Ncheke Council of Elders refute the report by the star Newspaper. There is absolutely no truth in what the reporter has written about Mr. Ruto being supported by Njuri Ncheke. Njuri Ncheke does not engage in politics and has not announced which candidate it will support,” Rutere said. The report alleges that Njuri Ncheke elders had endorsed Ruto during a recent meeting with elders from Rift Valley at the Njuri Ncheke Shrine in Nchiru, Tigania West which coincided with Ruto’s tour in Meru County. “The report is a great embarrassment because we cannot and did not discuss Ruto in the meting. We have written to our Lawyer to take action against the Star Newspaper. We cannot stand this sort of behavior by some reporters,” he said. Rutere said the elders did not meet nor see Mr. Ruto during the educational tour by Rift Valley elders noting that the elders comprised of various tribes from Nakuru County and not Kalenjin only as reported in the Media.  The Secretary general maintained all presidential aspirants are welcome to seek votes from the region adding that time will come when they will sit down to decide whom they will support in the coming elections. “Time will come when Njuri Ncheke will facilitate a meeting of all leaders from the two counties of Tharaka Nithi and Meru to discuss the best candidate who will address the needs of Meru Community,” he noted. They further said that Prof Jotham Micheni the Deputy Vice Chancellor at the Kenya Methodist University (KEMU) is not the Secretary General of the Council as reported but was standing in for the Patron Amb. Francis Muthaura. ENDS…
