You made voters to view him as your project. Nominations were strictly for ODM registered party members. Unless you registered your people in ODMâ.
âYou and Kamanda are supporting Musungu for your best known reasons. Your reasoning dont qualify you to be a law maker. Whoever will make it will be tasked to represent Kibrans.â Quipped Watulo Benson Wekesa.
