Oparanya talked about delegates but that is his own opinion. Not the peoples\u2019,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n<p>While referring to an unnamed aspirant for the Kakamega 2022 gubernatorial seat who has support from Oparanya, Kizito maintained that he will not be his deputy, because he has allegedly stolen money from the government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI sit in the Public Accounts Committee and I know thieves. This person you want me to deputize is a thief. A thief cannot be our governor, and I cannot support one.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis electricity guy has been walking around doing nonsense, and stealing government\u2019s money. He has even been summoned and should be arrested\u201d Kizito stated.<\/p>\n<p>Kizito proceeded to say that he will at no point deputize any person, since he is the most senior politician in Kakamega.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am not sick, and so I will not deputize anyone appointed by the delegates. I am in fact the senior most politician around here,\u201d he noted<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do not want anyone to lie to you. Let it be known clearly that I am not going to be anyone\u2019s deputy. I did not come all this way just to be that,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n<p>He urged governor Oparanya to be calm as his term ends, and allow aspirants to consult him, but not appoint people.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/kenya\">Kenya<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Kenya.
