“We must fix this country, fix its systems, fix its politics, then fix its economy,” Raila declared as he unveiled his 2022 blueprint christened Itawezekana or It Will Be Possible. Raila warned against opportunistic politicians who are using people's problems to drum up chauvinistic and xenophobic political support in the guise of empowerment. Nominated MP Kamanda dismissed perceptions that Raila was a hard sell in Mt Kenya, saying contrary to belief, the ODM boss has been 'embraced' in the mountain. “Let us not be cheated into thinking it would be difficult to sell Raila in Mt Kenya. “I am surprised you can put the Mt Kenya economy, which is worth more than 34 African countries, into a wheelbarrow,” Muriithi said.
