Nairobi, Saturday 19th March, 2022:
Nairobi’s Jubilee gubernatorial candidate, the Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KNCCI) president Richard Ngatia today spearheaded the Azimio la Umoja coalition campaigns in Nairobi’s Eastlands areas.
Accompanied by other Azimio La Umoja luminaries, Ngatia drove the Azimio agenda to the areas of Embakasi West, Embakasi East and Makadara in the expansive Eastlands.
Buoyed by the rapturous support he received yesterday, moments after returning his nomination papers to the Jubilee Party headquarters and getting the nod to seek for votes as he looks at winning the April Party nominations, Ngatia took the campaigns for his bid for Nairobi and that of Raila Odinga’s Presidency to Umoja, arears of Jogoo road in Embakasi East, Pipeline in Embakasi South and Makongeni in Makadara constituency which is a bed rock of the Orange Democratic Movement.
Ngatia was accompanied by veteran Senator Maina Kamanda, Makadara MP and ODM Nairobi chairman George Aladwa, Nominated Senator and aspiring Nairobi Women representative Beatrice Kwamboka, Former CAS Beatrice Elachi, ODM Secretary General Edwin Sifuna, Embakasi East MP Babu Owino and several Nairobi Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) led by Upper Savannah MCA Stazo Omung’ala.
Ngatia said that his administration will seek for employment opportunities for 5000 youth in the gulf region.
Ngatia this week signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Federations Council of Saudi Chambers (FCSC) in the Saudi Arabia in an agreement that will see Kenya and Nairobi in particular export professionals to Saudi Arabia.
Ngatia continued with his clarion call for Azimio la Umoja aspirants in Nairobi to embrace clean politics and shun insult and mudslinging. Ngatia had made a call to his competitors for the governorship ticket within the Azimio la Umoja to avoid directing insults to him and other candidates noting that they are one big family supporting the candidature of ODM Leader Raila Odinga and President Uhuru Kenyatta in Odinga’s quest to be Kenya’s fifth President come the August 9th general elections.
The chambers of Commerce leader has maintained that politics does not have to be a competition of insults but a competition of ideas to change the lies of the electorate and secure a better future for the country.
