KALENJIN youths endorse KOSGEI as RAILA’s running mate as BETT threatens


Wednesday August22, 2012 - A lobby group named “Kalenjins for Raila” has endorsed Industrialisation Minister, Henry Kosgei as Mr Odinga‘s running mate in the next election.

The youths said Kosgei who is also Tinderet lawmaker has remained committed in popuarising Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) policies and that he was capable of delivering the Rift Valley votes to the party.

The group said they will soon launch a door to door campaign in every part of Rift Valley to ensure the duo ascend to the presidency come March next year.

However, Bureti MP Franklin Bett who also wants to be Raila’s running mate termed the move to endorse Mr Kosgei as farfetched and a scheme to sideline communities from South Rift.

Bett, who is also the Roads minister, said if the Orange party continues with such schemes he will eventually ditch the Orange party for a better alternative.
