President Uhuru Kenyatta’s successor, according to Agano Party presidential candidate David Mwaure Waihiga, is better qualified than his rivals who have held elected office in the past.

Waihiga Mwaure claims that Raila Odinga, Prof. George Wajackoyah, and Deputy President William Ruto have all held government positions in the past with little to no impact.

Regarding DP Ruto, he asserts that the second-in-command should stop misleading Kenyans with promises because he is still in government and should have carried out his objectives for the country throughout his tenure.

“The other candidates have been there before. One of them has been and is still a Deputy President. He is in government, the things he is saying he can do are things he could have done in the last 10, 20 or 30 years because he has been in government that long,” Waihiga noted.

Waihiga goes on to recall Azimio la Umoja One Kenya flag bearer Raila Odinga’s reign as the nation’s Prime Minister saying he similarly had the opportunity to deliver to Kenyans but failed on his mandate.

“The other one has been a former prime minister; he has been in the coalition, a co-president, sharing the government 50-50. The things he is promising are the things he could have done but has not done; he has been in the race in the last 40 years,” he added.

George Wajackoyah, a presidential candidate for the Roots Party, received criticism for his work as a police officer and was accused of failing to make a positive difference in the way he provided his services.

“The other one has been in government; he has been in the police force, in the intelligence and even now he is still in there,” Waihiga remarked.

The Agano party candidate continued by pointing out that during each of the three candidates’ terms in office, the country was rocked by governance problems, which, in his opinion, should not be an option for electorates..

“In the last 10 years where we have a DP who wants to run for president, My team and I have counted that in the last 10 years, not less than 22 scandals that have taken place in broad light…for the former prime minister we have counted 12 scandals,” Waihiga claimed.
