Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya says he will defend his seat in next year’s general election.
The governor also said he is supporting the opposition to remove the Kenya Kwanza regime from power.
Natembeya says his wish is to complete all projects he has initiated in the region and realise his vision of eliminating poverty and disease, among other challenges affecting residents.
“As we go to elections next year, God willing, I will still work with the people of Trans Nzoia as we also seek to remove the current regime from power and save our country from bad leadership,” Natembeya said.
He spoke at various stops in the county where he has been leading the distribution of maize seedlings to small-scale farmers.
The governor has told off his political rivals who have stepped up campaigns to oust him.
Natembeya termed the rivals’ hirelings sent by their political masters who have no interest in transforming the lives of residents.
The governor said there were three hirelings traversing Trans Nzoia to mislead residents ahead of the next elections so that they end up electing the wrong leaders.
“I do not want to name the three because they do not deserve mileage from being mentioned as those seeking to remove me, “ he said.
“However, I want my people of Trans Nzoia to know that those are hyenas in sheep’s skins. They have been sent by the same masters in Ford Kenya,” Natembeya said.
The county has in the recent past witnessed increased political activities by aspirants seeking to vie for the governor’s seat next year.
Those who have declared interest to face off with Natembeya include Chris Wamalwa, who lost to the governor in the last elections, and former CS for Health Susan Nakhumicha. Also interested is Kiminini MP Kakai Bisau.
They have accused Natembeya of focusing on politics without delivering tangible development since he was elected.
