Four MPs endorse Eugene Wamalwa for Nairobi governor seat

Four Members of Parliament have endorsed Water Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa for the Nairobi governorship seat.

Despite the endorsement by MPs Ferdinand Waititu (Kabete), Jude Njomo (Kiambu), Mpuru Aburi (Tigania East), Kanini Kega (Kieni), Wamalwa has steered clear of the discussion instead insisting that his current attention is on serving the country as Water CS.

Wamalwa who was until his appointment into Cabinet the leader of New Ford Kenya has however stated that he would be in the race in the 2017 elections on a Jubilee Party ticket, though not stating which seat he would vie for.

“When time for politics comes, we will talk politics. But for now my attention is to serve the people of Kenya by ensuring they have access to water,” said the CS in an interview on Citizen TV this week.

Already, the seat currently occupied by ODM’s Evans Kidero has attracted interest from current Nairobi Senator Mike Mbuvi Sonko, Dagoretti South MP Dennis Waweru, former aide to ODM leader Raila Odinga Miguna Miguna, Bishop Margaret Wanjiru and nominated MP Johnson Sakaja.
