Trans Nzoia governor George Natembeya says he is currently occupied with serving the people at the expense of playing politics.
Natembeya has been missing from all the political rallies organised by the current opposition principals, led by former deputy president Rigathi Gachagua, Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka and DAP Kenya’s Euegene Wamalwa.
The governor said that he was focused on serving those who elected him, saying at the right time he would announce where he stands politically.
According to him, it is not the right time to politick at the expense of service to the people.
“We’ve got this political formation of the former deputy president, Hon Kalonzo Musyoka, and Eugene Wamalwa, who are all working together. People are asking why is Natembeya is not being seen in these rallies, is he charting his own course? My response is that currently I’m serving the people of Trans Nzoia. Among us all in that group, I’m the only one who’s elected. I’ve got a responsibility for the people of Trans Nzoia. So even as we balance politics, I also know that I’ve got a responsibility to my people. At the opportune time, we are going to make the decision on what we need to do. Of course, in consultation with our people. But for now, my mind is all set on being governor for Trans Nzoia. Because I’ve got that five-year mandate. I don’t want to get myself mixed up with other things,” he said.
