| Farouk Kibet, National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah |
President William Ruto’s close aide, Farouk Kibet, has praised National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah’s leadership. During Gichuru Memorial High School’s thanksgiving on Friday, June 14, Farouk pointed out that five years ago, nobody gave the Kikuyu MP a chance to become the Majority Leader. Farouk argued that the lawmaker speaks a language that Kenyans across the ethnic divide understand. He revealed that Ichung’wah had attended numerous fundraisers organised in Rift Valley and had been warmly welcomed. “Five years ago, Ichung’wah did not have the position of Majority Leader. Today, in Kenya, he is the Majority Leader; we do not know what his future holds. But if I predict correctly, this leader will one day be a national leader and will hold a significant national position because he speaks the language of Kenyans. When he comes to our area, we welcome him. He has come to organise nearly a hundred fundraising events for me. What is Farouk’s message to leaders The powerful aide urged the leaders to prioritise uniting Kenyans, adding that most of them wish well for the country. “I would like to hear the language of Kenyans, and the best language for Kenyans is one that unites them. Many of these leaders, when I assess their faces, wish well for Kenyan,” he said. Farouk further lauded the Mt Kenya region, claiming it was the first to stand against tribalism when they voted for President William Ruto. He affirmed that they would concentrate on delivering Ruto’s agenda through development projects wherever they go.
