Let me be frank with you. I have been approached and I have had discussions with a number of them,&#8221; Wamatangi revealed.<\/p>\n<p>He, however, did not reveal the names of the aspirants who have approached him.<\/p>\n<p>The Senator also stated that he was currently focused on his role as the representative of Kiambu residents, adding that the discussions would progress further in due course.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am training my focus on delivering work that I have as a Senator and as the Majority Whip to ensure that the government projects go all the way,&#8221; he stated.<\/p>\n<p>During the show, the Kiambu Senator also defended calls by Mt Kenya leaders who have demanded that the region get the DP&#8217;s position in the upcoming 2022 General Election.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you are going to do a deal with any community, you definitely must say what is in it for you. I believe whoever wants to come to court the people of Mt. Kenya, must tell them the kind of partnership they want to have with them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He explained that the demands were part of the negotiation tactics the leaders were using to protect the interests of the region.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is the kind of negotiations that come up all the time when you are having political formations. It is not good to pretend here that it doesn\u2019t happen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On September 14, 2021, Gatundu Member of Parliament, Moses Kuria, stated that the DP position was non-negotiable for the Mt. Kenya region, citing the numbers of the vote-rich region.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The position of the DP is non-negotiable for the Mt Kenya region commensurate with our votes. We also demand 40% of all government appointments,\u201d Kuria stated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Kenya.
