Suspended Industrialisation minister Henry Kosgey has said he would vie for the Senate seat in next year’s general election in Nandi County.
Mr Kosgey, who made his first public appearance since he returned from The Hague, cautioned Kenyans against tribal politics.
“While I was at The Hague, I bought two Bibles, which gave me a lot of comfort and inspiration. I read several verses from my hotel room and I appreciate your kind messages,” he said.
Mr Kosgey, who asked communities in the Rift Valley to pursue genuine reconciliation, urged Kenyans to continue praying for the Ocampo Six.
Other post-election violence mastermind suspects are Finance minister Uhuru Kenyatta, Head of Civil Service Francis Muthaura, Eldoret North MP William Ruto, Radio presenter Joshua Sang and Postmaster-General Hussein Ali.
Mr Kosgey said what the county needed most were united leaders keen on promoting development countrywide without letting in their personal interests.
The MP assured the Nandi community that he was committed to ensure they had a strong bargaining power in the unfolding political scenario.
“I am ready to work with all of you in developing Tindiret. I will offer my candidature for a top post in the Nandi County as per your demands,” said Mr Kosgey, who has been the area MP for almost three decades.
He said that the Nandi community would achieve a lot under the new constitutional order if the locals elected visionary leaders.
He spoke at Lessos trading centre, Nandi Hills town and Meteitei in his Tindiret constituency.
