There are some cases where our members are intimidated against affiliating with us, but I want to assure them that they have the right to register with us,\u201d he said.Appealing to the Kalenjin community, the long serving party coordinator stated that grassroots campaigns were ongoing to recruit new members and delegates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKanu is a great party and it has been there since independence with supporters across the country, and going by the direction of our party leader, he is ready to take over the leadership mantle,\u201d he said.The leaders also vowed to rally behind the Kanu party leader Gideon Moi, saying they were ready to support his presidential ambition to succeed Kenyatta in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Former Mosop Kanu parliamentary aspirant Christopher Telengech said the opening of Jubilee Asili Centre was the initial development of a movement that would morph into a political party, adding that Deputy President William Ruto&#8217;s move was ill advised.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat is perceived as bad blood between DP Ruto and his boss may not be known by many, but the political development between Tangatanga and Kieleweke factions in the ruling party is showing that things are not good,\u201d said Telengech.He said the Kalenjin community should stand with Kanu and ignore new political outfits that were not aligned with their interests and development agenda.<\/p>\n<p>Nandi Kanu chairperson Joseph Samoei accused the DP of dividing the region, adding that Kenyatta was about to end the chaos that characterised the country after every presidential election.\u201cA referendum that spread out the Executive powers for inclusive governance will be a panacea of electoral skirmishes in the country.<\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t expect anyone to be against the handshake between Uhuru and Raila Odinga that was aimed at healing the country and addressing pertinent issues,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: EDWARD KOSUT\u00a0 AfricaPress-Kenya: Kanu members in Nandi County have welcomed President Uhuru Kenyatta\u2019s move to unite the country.
