Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has cautioned the Mt Kenya region against shifting its political allegiance away from President William Ruto.

They warned that such a move could cause the region to lose out on crucial government opportunities and development benefits.

Speaking on Sunday at the African Independent Pentecostal Church of Africa (AIPCA) in Othaya, Nyeri County, Mudavadi, who was representing President Ruto, said Mt Kenya remains a key beneficiary of the current administration's projects and should remain steadfast in its support. "You are lucky to be working with a President who has a lot of faith in the people of this region," Mudavadi said. "If you let it slip, we want it, and we will take it.

A bird in hand is better than ten in the bush." The  Prime CS praised the region's loyalty to the Kenya Kwanza government but warned that growing political uncertainty could jeopardize the gains made so far.
