Ford Kenya party leaders have criticized Trans Nzoia governor Patrick Khaemba. Speaking in Kitale after meeting the party grassroots leaders, the Branch Secretary General in the county Martin Waliaula said the party will not gamble with the gubernatorial position in the county, adding that the current leadership under Governor Khaemba has not helped the party officials or the residents.
Waliaula said the party has presented four aspirants who will battle it out with governor Khaemba in the party’s primaries and called upon the residents to reject the governor since he has nothing good to present to the residents of the county. He said they have noted governor Khaemba hasn’t been serious with the party and has colluded with leaders from other parties while showing disrespect to party leader Moses Wetangula.
Other leaders including the party’s organizing secretary said governor Khaemba should prepare to leave the party given that the way issues are at the moment, the chances of him clinching the gubernatorial aspirant position are very minimal. He claimed the governor has been handling issues alone without involving the party leadership.
However, the organizing secretary of the party in Kiminini sub county James Mulongo Wanambisi was quick to hit the nail on the head, saying the party has resolved to do away with the governor.
They challenged him to come out clean and explain how his chief of staff Julius Mbagaya has been associating with Jubilee, and he even attended a meeting organized by the party.
