You’ve made a major political announcement that you will not seek re-election on a United Democratic Alliance (UDA) ticket. What informed this decision?
This decision has not come abruptly. When I became governor, my strategy was to remain quiet, focus on service delivery and avoid unnecessary politics. However, as time went on, especially during President William Ruto’s visit to Murang’a, I found myself under pressure to declare my political position. I felt pushed into a corner. At that point, I had to speak my mind. From where I sit, the current political direction will not end well for UDA, especially in my region.
