Kega said he is firmly behind Raila's presidency

Kieni MP Kanini Kega has rubbished reports claiming that Jubilee party leaders from the Mt Kenya region do not trust ODM Party Boss Raila Odinga despite their intensive campaigns for Raila's presidency.

Through his Facebook post, Kega, who is also Jubilee Party Director of Elections urged Kenyans to ignore such allegations going around.

According to the MP, leaders from Uhuru's Jubilee faction are busy campaigning for Raila's presidency, moving from one home to the other in the Mt Kenya region looking for votes.

While assuring Kenyans of Raila's presidency, Kega claimed that the false reports were spread by his desperate Tanga tanga counterparts

"Ignore the desperate Tangas! I am leading the troupe in ensuring Baba is elected the 5th! We are going from house to house, compound to compound! Our mission is one that RAO is elected as the 5th!" stated Kanini Kega.

On Sunday, April 10, reports emerged that Kega, who is one of Raila Odinga's point men from Mt Kenya had allegedly told the region that the Jubilee party does not trust Raila Odinga despite campaigning for him.

According to reports, Kega while speaking to Nyeri county residents on Saturday, April 9, allegedly told them that they settled on Raila Odinga since they had no better option.

It is reported that the MP urged Nyeri residents to elect their leaders on the Jubilee party ticket as one way of ensuring they have numbers and a say in Raila's government should they form a government.

While fearing for a scenario where Raila could dump them and shake hands with Ruto (who most probably will have numbers) Kega warned Nyeri residents to consider voting in leaders from Jubilee in order to be safe.
