Nairobi City member of county assembly aspirants who lost in the just concluded elections are calling on President William Ruto and deputy president Gachagua Rigathi to remember them in job appointments as the new government is formed.
The MCA aspirants congratulated Ruto’s government for the big win and reminded him of their support for the ruling party.
The politicians led by their secretary general Peter Njagi Ndwiga urged President Ruto propagate the bottom-up economic approach in Nairobi in order to create employment.
They pledged support to Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja to keep his promises in job creation for struggling City youths.
Ndwiga says they strongly believe the unique and enduring partnership they founded during the campaigns, based on friendship, common history, and the mutual love for the Hustler Nation, will bring vital mutual benefits to the people.
“Your Excellency, we know that your biggest priority is navigating the economy forward while at the same time, making a decisive break from the business-as-usual economic policies so as to accelerate job creation and leave no one behind in the empowerment process. As your political foot soldiers, we are fully behind you on this,” Njagi said.
He further said the Caucus looks forward to working with Ruto not only to develop closer relations between the national government and Nairobi County being the country’s Capital City but also to concert their efforts in the cause of unity and the harmony of all Kenyans.
The Caucus’ Organizing Secretary Scholastica Wanjiku appealed to Ruto to get them some slots in government as one way of appreciating their efforts in the campaigns.
Her remarks were echoed by the Caucus’ Coordinator Terry Anita who said as women they faced a lot of harassment during the campaigns and that their efforts need to be taken into consideration.
Njagi ran for UDA MCA nomination in Nairobi CBD Ward but lost while Wanjiku tried for the same in Ziwani Ward and also failed as it happened to Anita in Clay City Ward. All of those wards are in Nairobi County.
They are now humbly appealing for a seat in the table either in the County or in the National Government.
