A former MP from Nyanza is the new face of an amorphous movement that has hit the road to drum up support for Deputy President William Ruto’s 2022 presidential stab.
The former legislator, who served only one term in the august House, has been holding meetings in top hotels to convince senior Nyanza leaders to ditch Raila.
He has also been using his new-found friendship with top Jubilee mandarins to angle for a state job to no avail.
So far, he has reached out to 40 local leaders with promises of goodies.

A male governor is now the talk of town after he acquired a chain of property in a neighbouring country.
Locally, he has been investing in massive projects registered in names of proxies.
Drama unfolded recently when he fell out with his long-time proxy, a woman.
To the chagrin of the county boss, the woman, whom he had romantic ties with, has refused to surrender a prime property the governor had registered in her name.
Incidentally, the woman also operates bank accounts stuffed with the governor’s loot.
