Tuesday January 15, 2019-Homa Bay Woman Representative, Gladys Wanga, has weighed in on the 2022 succession debate as it hots up ahead of the next General Elections.

Speaking yesterday, Wanga noted that President Uhuru Kenyatta may not endorse Deputy President William Ruto as many Jubilee supporters are waiting for. According to her, the President has every right to withhold his much awaited endorsement of Ruto’s 2022 Presidential bid. She noted that Uhuru’s sudden silence on his 2022 preferred candidate could be as a result of his demand that politicians shun politicking and give time for development and service delivery. She said that Uhuru is well aware that engaging in any political activity will only worsen the heating political temperatures and would rather remain silent.

"Huenda Rais anataka kumutangaza kama chaguo lake lakini anaona wakati haujafika (the President might be of the opinion that time is not ripe for political endorsements)," she said.

Wanga further claimed that Uhuru might decide to dishonor the promise in its entirety in retaliation to Ruto's inability to keep order within his camp and his continued disrespect.

"Huenda Rais ameudhika kwa sababu upande was Ruto unekataa kumsikiliza anaposema wanasiasa waache mambo ya chaguzi za 2022 (Uhuru seems bitter with the DP over the continued politicking in his camp. Ruto's allies seem unwilling to shelve the 2022 debate)," she added.
