We will support your presidential bid in 2022 – Wambora to Senator Moi

Embu Governor, Martin Wambora, has assured Baringo Senator and independent party – KANU chairman, Gideon Moi, of the support of Embu people in his 2022 political ambitions.

Speaking at a conference of secondary school heads from Baringo County at a hotel in Embu on Thursday, Wambora said Mr Moi was the most popular Senator in Embu.

“Gideon is the most popular Senator to Embu people. Even when you (Gideon Moi) have ambitions in 2022, Embu people will be behind you,” assured Wambora.

Wambora praised the Baringo Senator for standing with him when he was impeached twice in 2014.

“Gideon really fought hard for me during my impeachment. He told them (Senators) that they did not know what they were doing. I am grateful for him for fighting for me,” he said.

Moi described Wambora as a great friend, an honest man of high integrity who he stood with during the ouster motion even when other Senators disapproved his stand.

On the wave of insecurity plaguing Baringo County, Moi commended the efforts by the government aimed at restoring calm and peace in the area.

“The operation to flush out bandits in the larger Rift belt was long overdue and I sincerely thank the President for listening to the cries of our people,” he said.

Moi, however, observed that the restoration of peace initiative by the government came in late and should have commenced immediately area leaders raised their concern.

He said for long time, bandits have ruled some parts of the county making life unbearable hence displacements, killings and creating a state of uncertainty among residents.
