Fred Matiangi wants to be president. On May 2, he told people at Gusii Stadium that he would try for the top job in 2027. He plans to leave his World Bank job soon to start his campaign. Many asked him to run because they believed he could fix Kenya.
He will go abroad for three weeks to finish his current work before coming back for good. The former Cabinet Secretary reminded crowds that he works hard day or night. He asked the Gusii people to sign up as voters before the next election. His speech brought hope to many who feel the country has problems.
Large crowds forced him to change locations from Kisii Capital Roundabout to the stadium. People packed the streets to see him arrive in town, and businesses stopped as his car passed through busy areas. His sudden rise might cause trouble for both Ruto and Raila in the coming race.
