Uhuru heckled in Makueni as he warns chiefs over political allegiance

President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy William Ruto are on Wednesday, August 2 finalizing on their campaign trails in Ukambani region, wooing residents of Makueni County.

Speaking to residents in Unoa Grounds in Wote Town, the President called upon the Kamba community to support his re-election bid for a second five-year term, exuding confidence in a Jubilee regime that he says has outdid its predecessors in terms of rolling development projects in the country.

However, the Head of State faced some hard times when a section of residents in attendance started expressing displeasure by the regime by chanting the opposition National Super Alliance (NASA) slogans.

The President remained upbeat and promised the people of Makueni that the construction of Thwake Multi-Purpose Dam will commence this month.

Makueni is a perceived NASA stronghold with Jubilee claiming that they have made inroads in the region.
