Former Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero has made a comeback in the political scene following his appointment as the Chief Administrative Secretary in Trade and Industrialization.
Kidero who totally lost in his political ambition to become the next Homabay Governor to Gladys Wanga has now found a new lease of life to be in the political scene following his appointment.
This comes barely 24 hours after he formally ditched the Orange Democratic Movement and formally joined the United Democratic Alliance.
The relationship between Kidero and ODM Leader Raila Odinga has been frosty ever since the party chose to give Wanga a direct party ticket to vie in Homabay pushing him to vie as an independent candidate.
The Former Nairobi Governor has been in the political cold for five years after losing the city county leadership to Mike Sonko.
Kidero said the people of Nyanza have resolved to work with the government and won’t allow themselves to be isolated from the rest of Kenyans.
They also pledged to join President Ruto’s political party United Democratic Alliance (UDA).
“We have chosen UDA because it’s a party that cares for the people unlike ODM which focuses on demonstrations daily,”Kidero said while officially joining the President William Ruto led party.
Kenya Kwanza’s digital strategist Dennis Itumbi and ex- Nominated Senator Millicent Omanga are among fifty Chief Administrative Secretaries (CAS) nominees to be vetted by Members of Parliament after recommendation by the Public Service Commission (PSC).
President William Ruto nominated Itumbi to the Ministry of Information Communications and The Digital Economy, Kidero (Ministry of Investments, Trade and Industry) while Omanga was nominated to the Interior ministry alongside former Narok governor Samuel Tunai and former North Eastern Regional Co-ordinator Amb Mohamud Ali Saleh
