Africa-Press<\/a> – Kenya<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Deputy President William Ruto has challenged leaders to focus on issues that will better the lives of the people.<\/p>\n

He said Kenyans want the politics that is anchored on development.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe hungry want food on their table; not the change in the Constitution,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He spoke on Saturday in Kilifi County during the burial of Bishop George Mwangome Chipa and his brother Adam Goe Chipa.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are going to talk about the economy and the empowerment of millions of Kenyans living in poverty,\u201d he insisted.<\/p>\n

Ruto asked Kenyans to rally behind transformative leaders.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo not support a leader just because he is from your tribe. Check on his development track-record,” the DP said.<\/p>\n

He regretted that some leaders were still stuck in old ways of conducting politics that is guided by hate, division and empty promises.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo not engage in the gambling of your future,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

The Deputy President was accompanied by MPs Richard Chonga (Kilifi South), Paul Katana (Kaloleni), Benjamin Tayari (Kinango), Owen Baya (Kilifi North) and Aisha Jumwa (Malindi).<\/p>\n

Kilifi South MP Richard Chonga, who was elected on an ODM ticket, said he will be making a move to the hustler nation \u201csoon\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere you are seeing me now is where I am. This is because we want more development in Kilifi,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He noted that he has faith in Ruto and his dedication to take Kenya back to the growth path.<\/p>\n

While welcoming Chonga\u2019s take, Kaloleni MP Paul Katana and Kinango MP Benjamin Tayari, said the Coast region will support the Deputy President in 2022.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are organising ourselves politically. We want to be in the Hustler family because this is the right direction for our region,\u201d Kilifi North MP Owen Baya added.<\/p>\n

Malindi MP Aisha Jumwa argued that they were behind the United Democratic Alliance \u201cthat promises a new start for our country.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
