TALK OF THE DAY: Leaders endorse Matiang’i for Deputy President position in 2022

Matiang'i should one day be elected president. He does not suffer fools. He deals with goons until they learn how to behave.He straightens institutions stealing A grades in national examinations until they learn to accept what they have worked for. - Mbugua Albert

This pairing is a non-starter. Two institutions hold huge sway in the outcome of the next elections: 1) The Presidency: Uhuru, courtesy of the State machinery, and 2) Central Kenya, by virtue of huge voter numbers.

Thus, a serious contender has to come from Central or offer the region the deputy president; or a stronger prime minister must be created in the Constitution. I foresee the power barons aligning Gideon for president, Raila his deputy and Uhuru/Waiguru remaining/becoming a powerful prime minister. That's a combination for elections' sake. - Mohamed Rahoy 

Matiang’i should be our president and Governor (Alfred) Mutua his deputy. Let the big tribes sit it out for a minute. Unfortunately, a secret MoU will be signed and a compromise guy will be made President. Mediocrity will continue to reign and Kenya will continue to rot. - George Mukua

Matiang'i should first contest for the governor position and if he wins, then he can think of going for the big office. - Mark Choge

It would better if Kenyans elected somebody like Matiang'i deputised by Prof (George) Magoha. Some of the current political class should be at Kamiti Prison. - Mungai Kangethe
