Nominated Senator Karen Nyamu has ruled out the possibility of a successful presidential run by former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i, branding him as "inexperienced" for the country's top office.

Speaking exclusively to The Standard, Nyamu drew a sharp contrast between Matiang'i and President William Ruto, saying the latter has a more suitable background for leadership. "What is the experience of Matiang'i?

He has just been appointed as a CS.

We need someone who has an overall approach," Nyamu said. "William Ruto has been CS, MP, Deputy President, so we would trust him.
