According to the DP, his one week absence from state functions was because he went to his home County to inspect his projects for the people including the fight against illicit brew in the Mt. Kenya region.
“I have been around (Nyeri) for the last one week and I have walked around without being noticed. The only place you will keep an eye on is Mukurweini. The rest of the county is good, we are 85 per cent successful.”
The Deputy President also took time to criticise the leaders who spoke before him who alleged that there are some people in government trying to sideline the Deputy President just likebthe last regime.
“I have heard MPs talking about matters of the Deputy President instead of CDF. How will you know the stories of the Deputy President? Please mind your business. It’s not the election period yet.”
The DP also urged leaders to work for the people who elected them and stop politicking. He advised leaders to cool the political temperatures and work for the people fod they will elect based on results
