Nairobi Governor Kananu Backs Igathe to Succeed Her at City Hall

Nairobi Governor Ann Kananu has today declared support for Azimio La Umoja-One Kenya Alliance (OKA) Gubernatorial candidate Polycarp Igathe in the August 9th, 2022 general elections.

Speaking at her City Hall office today when Igathe paid her a courtesy call, Kananu said that Igathe is fit to lead the county and vowed to lead the Azimio La Umoja-OKA Gubernatorial campaigns for his election.

Kananu urged all parties in the coalition to back the candidature of Igathe and his running mate Prof. Philip Kaloki to assume office in the next political dispensation.

"I call upon all our  supporters in Jubilee party and Azimio La Umoja-OKA to rally behind our candidate as they carry the best aspirations for our City, " Kananu said.
" I had elaborate plans to develop the county of Nairobi as Governor but I have taken the decision of our party and I will support our party candidate in their bid to bring a revolution in our county. It was never about me but us as a county," she said.
On his part, Igathe said he looked forward to working with Kananu in improving the lives of the people of Nairobi. "As the Governor has said, it is not about an individual but about the millions of the people of Nairobi," Igathe said.
"I will work with every like minded person in our Azimio wing to ensure we bring the desired development in our county," he added.

Igathe called upon all party candidates who failed to clinch the ticket to fly the party flag to join hands with the winners in solving the problems of the residents.

"To all aspirants who did not clinch tickets, this is the time to demonstrate that you really wanted to serve the people. The governor's seat does not belong to an individual but is a big institution. We must all come together to deliver to the residents whether you won or lost, we are all winners and we should come together," Igathe said
Igathe said that the office of the governor is one of every Nairobian and no aspirant should feel a child of a lesser God for loosing out on the primaries.

The gubernatorial candidate said that next week, Azimio la Umoja constituent parties will start holding meetings of all candidates and all aspirants who never clinched tickets to ensure the journey towards the August polls begin on the right footing.

Airbase MCA Fuad Hussein has vowed to protect investors from unscrupulous people who want to hinder their efforts to develop the country. Fuad accused swindlers posing as Nairobi County Government officials of colluding to rob the city's developers.

His sentiments come after reports emerged that a ring of fraudsters in Nairobi conspired to extort him following his strong stance against corruption. In an intriguing twist, suspected fraudsters have threatened to blow up the internet by uploading a video where Fuad was reportedly captured intimidating a person who claims to work in the Nairobi county government.  The video insinuates that Fuad threatened the unidentified man with sexual assault. People with knowledge of the situation, however, have dismissed the claims as baseless, insisting that the
