MOMBASSA—A section of delegates booed at gubernatorial elections loser Suleiman Shahbal when he stood to address residents in Mombasa on Friday during Jubilee campaigns that was led by Tourism Cabinet Secretary Najib Balala.
Even though Mr Balala intervened to cool down the delegates, the hostility against Mr Shahbal continued.
”Members should embrace forgiveness since we are all camapigning for President Uhuru Kenyatta,” said Najib Balala.
“We had challenges here in Mombasa and I heard that the problem was with our agents which caused by those who were leading you in the August elections and now we have resolved that Mr Balala here will lead be in charge and will coordinate the campaigns with the other leaders,” said Mr Ruto.
He further stated that during the August 8th General Election, some polling stations did not have Jubilee agents as a result of the “differences among the leaders and this time round we do not want people from Nairobi to come plan for you anything.”
”We do not want people to be bossy. You are now going to appoint your own agents at the grassroot level,” said Mr Ruto.
