That\u2019s exactly what we are doing.

We have many friends on the political scene who we can work with.

Education is the key to development,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Gideon\u2019s visit came two days after Deputy President William Ruto visited Kitengela on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Kajiado County has of late become a corridor of power where new political formations are being crafted and deals struck.<\/p>\n<p>In past elections, Kajiado\u2019s populous satellite towns that offer swing votes played a pivotal role in President Uhuru Kenyatta&#8217;s re-election.<\/p>\n<p>For the past two months, the county has witnessed heightened political activity, with several meetings being convened to drum up support for different emerging political formations<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author:\u00a0Peterson Githaiga AfricaPress-Kenya: Baringo Senator Gideon Moi yesterday called for communities to work together in building a great nation.
