By Gitau wa Kung’u (profgitauwakung’u@gmail.com).

Yesterday Azimio la Umoja presidential flagbearer Hon Raila Amolo Odinga and his running mate Hon Martha Karua enjoyed a warm triumphant welcoming into Murang’a county. They had just come from an extensive meeting with the Mt. Kenya Foundation (MKF) at Thika.

“The whole of Kenya and I personally recognise Murang’a county as home great businessmen like Equity’s Mr. Munga, media mogul S.K Macharia and many more, whose genius ideas have been critical in the growth of Kenyan economy, I’m proud to be associated with you,” Raila.

Raila also condemned the measures taken against Keroche breweries by promising that Azimio government will pass tax policies that support private sector like Keroche and many others without indiscriminate actions on tax issues like closure because the private business sector contributes a lot in the Kenyan economy.

"Support for Baba na mama is support for quality, brave, principled, visionary leadership kabisa kabisa, just like it is with Jamu na Dr. Anne's gubernatorial ticket," Hon Jamleck Kamau, aspiring governor with Jubilee ticket.

The Azimio team presented their manifesto with pro; economic refurbishment, anti-corruption, poverty eradication, peace & harmonious coexistence.

Hon Karua urged Mt. Kenya region to support Hon Raila Odinga because he has proven to be steadfast warrior of democracy and economic emancipation.

“We as the youths of Murang’a County are fully behind Baba na Mama because we know they are the kind of parent-leaders who will serve this nation with diligence. We know we are secure with Azimio,” Ms. Monica Chege, Kigumo MCA Jubilee candidate stated.

Raila rained praises on Karua as a “lady of principle, heroine of servant leadership and an ethically incorruptible, brave and visionary woman; qualities that made me choose her as my running mate.”

“When you see me in Azimio as deputy president, know that Mt. Kenya interests are very secure. Nawaomba msikubali kamwe kupea uongozi watu wasio na maono ya kuendeleza Kenya kwa kuzingatia uongo wao mtamu. Baba na mama are the best bet for Kenya,” Karua.

"We shall vote Azimio because in Azimio hakuna matata, kukosewa heshima na kiburi against Mt. Kenya leaders who do not support ODM(chama cha baba) because they are still safe under Azimio coalition. Tuone mbele, Kenya iende mbele pamoja kwa azimio la umoja," Hon Sabina Chege.

Jubilee’s Murang’a gubernatorial candidate Hon Jamleck Kamau, Women Rep Waithira Muithirania, Kigumo MP OGW Ruth Mwaniki were on the frontline fortifying Azimio’s support in the county.

Outgoing Murang’a W. rep Sabina Chege, Equity’s founder and Chairperson James Munga and Dr. James Mwangi, media mogul S.K. Macharia, former gatanga MP Peter Kenneth, businessman Kamau Mweha, Kitui governor Charity Ngilu were among the leaders who led hyping for Azimio support in the campaigns.
