In an exclusive interview with the Star, the former Gatanga MP said the former prime minister has been at the centre of all struggles to make the country better.

โ€œI think Railaย  has what it takes should he offer himself for the presidency. He has been involved in all the battles to make Kenya better, but I cannot speak for him,โ€ Kenneth said.

โ€œI do not know what the handshake between him and the President entailed when it comes to 2022. Both of them have publicly said itโ€™s not time for politicking. Therefore, until itโ€™s quite clear he will be a candidate, it would not be right for us to discuss that candidature.โ€

Peter Kenneth noted that he would be open to working with Raila having worked with him before.

โ€œI have worked with Raila before in many instances. So why canโ€™t I work with him again?โ€ he posed.

The former lawmaker mentioned that Raila may have lost in the last three elections but half of the country voted for him.

โ€œItโ€™s also important for Kenyan to remember that despite the fact that the Hon Raila Odinga has lost elections; he has never lost a referendum. We have had only two and in both he was on the winning side,โ€ he said.

Peter Kenneth also spoke about his political ambition saying he is ready to serve Kenyans. He, however, played his cards close to his chest.

โ€œOf course, I have something to offerย  Kenyans. I have always said that. And whenever I have been given an opportunity, I have been able to showย  I am able to offer something to make Kenya better,โ€ he told the Star.

On whether he is ready to take over as the Mt Kenya kingpin, Kenneth said: โ€œI donโ€™t think itโ€™s a question of being ready. First, in a new dispensation, itโ€™s a question of ensuring the region is adequately represented at any negotiating tableโ€ฆ I have what it takes to represent the region but that is not a priority now

โ€œI believe if the opportunity is granted as first amongst equals, I should be on that list,โ€ he added.
