Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa has rubbished claims that he is set to ditch Deputy President William Ruto’s United Democratic Alliance (UDA) for the ruling Jubilee party.
The lawmaker says he is still strongly behind Ruto and that he is determined to see him take over the government come 9th of August.
Addressing his constituents in Kibingei ward at Khwiroro market, Barasa said that he indeed had a talk with the Jubilee party members but he has not declared to have moved from the United Democratic Party(UDA) terming it as propaganda.
“I met with the Jubilee party members and because of my good work, they asked me to join and work with them, just before I make a decision, they have already started walking around propagating lies that I have ditched UDA,I want to tell them that I am strongly behind William Ruto, ”he said.
This comes after an MP and MCAs allied to Ruto in western region decamped from the party led by the former UDA chairman John Waluke and joined the Jubilee party who’s leader is president Uhuru Kenyatta.
Barasa went further to urge the residents to bank their trust in him and his party boss William Ruto saying that with him, the country will be able to revive the ailing economy making sure that every Kenyan gets a sustainable living.
“The current government doesn’t care about the hustling Kenyans and that’s why I am asking you to vote in the leaders who can relate to the problems that common people go through, ”he said.
