Friday, August 6, 2021 – President Uhuru Kenyatta’s effort of uniting Mt Kenya has suffered a severe blow after Nyeri Town MP, Ngunjiri Wambugu, endorsed Deputy President William Ruto’s bottom-up economic model.
In an interview with Inooro TV on Thursday, Wambugu stated that the bottom-up approach spearheaded by Ruto should be absorbed into the system since it seeks to pump money into local and small-scale businesses.
“Let me say that I am one of the few members in our camp who fully support the bottom-up economic model.
“This is a great and noble idea which must be embraced by any sane politician who is seeking to lead this country,” Ngunjiri stated.
Wambugu also lambasted Jubilee Party Secretary-General Raphael Tuju for using derogatory words in describing the idea.
Last week, Tuju termed bottom-up as Matako Juu in Swahili.
“That’s why I was very annoyed the other day when my secretary-general brought jokes on such a serious matter,” Ngunjiri added.
