When we lose someone we must mourn for 40 days. I have just left home twice, to Meru for the Building Bridges Initiative meeting because it is important and will benefit all of us and for the Nginyo funeral,\u201d Gideon said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday, I only came to have lunch with you, but I will come back for more discussions,\u201d he said.He was referring to the burial of fallen Kiambu businessman and veteran politician Nginyo Kariuki who was buried on Tuesday.The senator called for unity, saying the aspirations of Kiambu residents are similar to those of his county, Baringo, and the entire country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur aspirations are the same. We want peace, better health services and infrastructure, the chance to do business and the stability of the economy,\u201d he said.Gideon promised to prioritise youth issues, especially unemployment, on his next visit to the area.<\/p>\n<p>He also called on residents and leaders in the region to support President Uhuru Kenyatta, saying he had the interests of Kenya at heart.\u201cIf he says right, we go right, if he says left, we go left, if he says we jump, we ask how many feet,\u201d said the Senator.After the meeting, local Kanu leaders said they were ready to strengthen the party in Kiambu County.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe did not discuss party issues because he (Gideon) is in mourning, but we are ready to rebuild the party,\u201d said George Wainaina.The leaders also expressed optimism that the former ruling party could easily emerge triumphant in the 2022 General Election.\u201cWe want Kanu to reign in 2022 elections,\u201d said Wainaina.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baringo Senator Gideon Moi yesterday said he will announce his next political move after finishing a 40-day mourning period for his father, Daniel arap Moi.
