Narc presidential aspirant Charity Ngilu announced at the weekend that she has taken up Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka’s slot in the G7 alliance. She said Kalonzo became jittery and bolted out whens she joined the alliance.
Ngilu, however, said she had no option but to fill the void “although I had moved into the alliance to reinforce Kalonzo in negotiating for a good share of the pie for our community in the G7 power sharing arrangement".
The Water minister said she had joined forces with Uhuru Kenyatta of TNA and William Ruto in URP to seek a joint formula to reconcile the country by build bridges and cultivate peace to ensure stability and prosperity by avoiding a repeat of the 2007/8 post-election violence.
“We need to cultivate peace. In our diversity, we need to bring the people together. Make sure we can seat together to provide leadership and manage resources in this country. We need to utilise these resources prudently so that Kenya can prosper,” said Ngilu.
Ngilu was speaking during a tour of both Mwingi North to drum up support for the G7 alliance. The Kutui Central MP, who was accompanied by her Mutitu counterpart Kiema Kilonzo, said the G7 team will restore harmony and development in the country.
Among those who accompanied the Water minister in the tour of Kalonzo’s home turf were Narc parliamentary aspirants Mutati Nzoka (Mwingi North), Jonathan Mutambu (Mwingi West) and Kyalo Maithya (Mwingi Central) and gospel singer and Kitui women's representative hopeful Peace Mulu.
Ngilu said ICC trial facing G7 leaders Kenyatta and Ruto and two others is "discriminatory indictment". Ngilu said that the way Kenyans will vote on March 4 will manifestly show that they are opposed to any Kenyan being tried at the Hague. She insinuated that presidential aspirants Kabaki, Kalonzo, Raila, and Ngilu, Ruto and Martha Karua among other leaders all had a role.
“Why then is it that only the four were taken to the Hague. The biggest issue facing Kenyans is the Hague. All must unite to restore unity and peace in Kenya. Without peace there will be no stability and development in Kenya,” said Ngilu.
Kiema who is seeking the Kitui gubernatorial position said outlanders had for long exploited the huge mineral resources in Kitui County without appropriately compensating locals.
He said as governor he would ensure locals get over 50 percent of mineral proceeds and appropriately compensated for land acquired for mining or exploration. He said he would expedite issuance of title deeds to help land owners have a strong legal basis to seek compensation.
