Turkana Governor Josephat Nanok has said nothing will stop him from supporting Deputy President William Ruto. “We are going to work with the Deputy President because it is under him that the poor and small businesses would be empowered,” he said. He said that he is choosing a new political path that is heavy on development that would help check poverty, negative ethnicity, and political hypocrisy in Kenya. Nanok added that the intensified conversation on mama mboga, bodaboda, and other small businesses was testimony the country had been on a wrong path to poverty eradication. Leaders present included Senators Malachy Ekal (Turkana), Susan Kihika (Nakuru), MPs Christopher Nakuleu (Turkana North), John Lodepe (Turkana Central), Joyce Emanikor (Woman Rep, Turkana), Jayne Kihara (Naivasha), Moses Kuria (Gatundu South), Lizah Chelule (Woman Rep, Nakuru), Samuel Gachobe (Subukia), Gideon Keter (nominated) and Kimani Ngunjiri (Bahati).
