A section of University students who attended the meeting held by Nairobi Gubernatorial aspirant Richard Ngatia have refuted claims that they were stranded over alleged non-payment
The students drawn from various universities across the city said they had a very successful meeting with Ngatia where the Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KNCCI) boss was able to campaign and sell his manifesto and agenda for Nairobi and the youth.
“We know these malicious rumours are being peddled by Ngatia’s rivals on sensing defeat as a tactic of trying to bring him down early by discrediting his reputation ahead of the elections,” said some of the student leaders.
Yesterday evening allegations circulating on social media painted a picture that they were stranded in the city after meeting him.
However the students said they went to meet Ngatia on their own volition after honouring his invite and not to get money or bus fare from him for attending his meeting.
“We were impressed by Ngatia’s presentation which convinced us that he is the best candidate for Governor and that’s why we endorsed him. I think it is from this that his opponents to social media to try and spoil his good name,” they said.
Ngatia met 2000 representatives from universities, Technical and Vocational Education and Training colleges drawn from Nairobi where he was endorsed for the Governorship by the students on Thursday, January 27th, 2022.
