Today, President Uhuru Kenyatta’s iron man in the Rift Valley George Natembeya has finally resigns as he tries his luck in the forthcoming polls. The no nonsense Regional commissioner has been eyeing the Trans Nzoia Gubernatorial position and according to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) all state officers have up to February 9, 2022 to resign before venturing into politics.
Natembeya will now be launching his gubernatorial race where he’s expected to face off with the incumbent governor.
Speaking to Nation a day before the announcement, Natembeya said that he was resigning to focus on his political ambitions.
“I will on Wednesday formally announce my resignation to focus on politics as l seek the backing of residents of Trans Nzoia to become their governor. My rivals have been asking me to remove my official uniform and face them in Trans Nzoia. As from Wednesday, I will hang my boots to teach them about leadership,” said Natembeya.
