DP Ruto said he was impressed by the leaders’ decision to unite and woo members of the Kamba community to work with Jubilee for unity and development.

He said there was nothing wrong with the region shifting its political allegiance to Jubilee “because the party is keen on developing all areas irrespective of voting patterns”.

“I ask you to support Jubilee because it is a party that has an agenda to change the lives of Kenyans. This is what you need to look for in politics and not your tribesman or kinsman,” said Mr Ruto.

He added: “Kenya wants leaders who can change the country for the better and its only Jubilee leaders who can do this."
