I qualify to be head of state - Wetang’ula

By Titus mbuvi

Ford Kenya leader Moses Wetang’ula has said he has what it takes to be the fifth President.

He urged ODM leader Raila Odinga to support his presidential bid. Wetang’ula spoke on Saturday during the homecoming ceremony of Busia Knut executive secretary Mark Hannington Oseno in Namboto village, Samia subcounty.
The Cord co-principal urged Western residents to support one of their own for the top seat. “I’m urging you to emulate other regions. I want you to support me because I have what it takes to lead,” Wetang’ula said.
The Bungoma senator said Western leaders must forge unity to bolster the community’s chances of producing a President. “I want to appeal to leaders to unite so we can chart the way forward,” he said.
The Senate minority leader urged the former PM to give youthful leaders a chance to run for President.
Wetang’ula said Raila should not handpick leaders and impose them on voters, but let people elect leaders of their choice.
