President-Elect William Ruto has assured that he will offer former Meru Senator Mithika Linturi a job in his government after he flopped in the county gubernatorial race.
During a thanksgiving service in Maua stadium, Meru County, Ruto asserted that they had a pact with Linturi that once he manages to clinch the presidential seat in the August 9 polls, he would offer him a job.
Other Kenya Kwanza leaders who were unsuccessful in winning political seats in Meru county benefited from his kind gesture as well, with the remark that they would also be included in the government to help the country develop.
“We agreed with Franklin that if I am elected president, I will share the seat with him. So don’t worry and also those who probably didn’t get a chance, I want to assure you that you will have a part in our government so that we can move forward together and so that we can handle the plan that we sold together with them for the development of the Kenyan nation,” said Ruto.
The newly elected president thanked the people of Meru for their support and promised to repay their generosity by working tirelessly to bring about regional reforms.
“We came before you, you did not despise us, you listened to us, welcomed us, believed in us and voted for us. Today I have come here to say thank you very much. Meru was county number four where we got a lot of votes.”
