It is time for change in Kibra, Deputy President William Ruto told a rally on Sunday, with just about two weeks left to the by-election.
The DP spoke of a now-or-never situation and told the people they are being given the opportunity to make the changes.
“Kibra will never remain a hotbed of violence, a slum, a place synonymous with poverty …. We will never be lied to again,” he said while campaigning for Jubilee Party and its candidate McDonald Mariga.
“We have water, electricity and infrastructure problems in Kibra and it’s only Mariga who will change this while working with President [Uhuru] Kenyatta.”
Dr Ruto also cited development projects in the Nairobi constituency, which he said Jubilee will continue with under Mr Mariga’s leadership.
“We will start [working on] stalled projects immediately after the elections on November 8,” he said. “We will work with all hustlers to change the face of Kibra.”
He warned their rivals against engaging in violence, saying only development will make a difference in the area.
