Nairobi’s 2022 gubernatorial front runner Richard Ngatia yesterday 12 January, 2022 received a boost as 67 Nairobi county assembly MCAs endorsed him.
The city MCA’s endorsed the KNCCI president after holding a meeting with him at a city hotel where he promised them a better working environment when he gets elected to office.
Led by Ziwani MCA Millicent Wambui Mugadi, the county legislators said they will support Ngatia because he is the only candidate who has recognized their importance as sitting elected and nominated MCAs in his quest for the City’s top job.
“We have listened to Ngatia and we have decided unanimously without doubt that he is the best bet for the seat. Personally, I believe Richard Ngatia is the best candidate for the governor’s position in Nairobi. We have seen others crisscross the city but I believe in Ngatia’s resume and his work which speaks for itself,” Mugadi said.
“We have the right candidate and the right party. The president Uhuru Kenyatta and the fifth President of Kenya ODM leader Raila Odinga are supporting Ngatia’s bid and we are behind his bid and all of us here are ready to support Ngatia bring back the lost glory of Nairobi,” The Jubilee elected MCA added.
“Ngatia has shared his vision for the city and even how he will work with MCAs once elected something that has been a problem for a long time. MCA’s must have a Governor who will work with everyone once elected not only working with MCA’s elected on his party, The MCA’s said in their resolve.
The consistent wars between the Governor and MCA’s affected the provision of services to the people of Nairobi something that has placed MCA’s at a disadvantage since residents never knew where the problem emanated from. Ngatia promised the MCAs that that will a thing if the past and he will work with all MCA’s and leaders regardless of party affiliation.
The MCAs said Ngatia is the best candidate for the handshake team. They vowed to mobilise votes for him from all corners of Nairobi because he is the only candidate who has the pedigree to bring back the glory of Nairobi,
The 67 MCAs will criss cross all the 85 Wards selling Ngatia’s bid whom they described as Dawa ya Nairobi
