Uriri MP Mark Nyamita has urged hopefuls in the constituency not to drag him into the 2022 politics as he was still fulfilling his pledges to the people.

Nyamita said the leaders were distracting him from concentrating on important issues concerning the people of his constituency.

The legislator wondered why the leaders were pushing him to leave his seat yet he had barely two years into the office.

He was vying for governor seat in the run up to the 2017 general election before he stepped down to run for the MP seat winning with a landslide.

This is after he run for the governor seat unsuccessfully in 2013.

But various leaders eyeing his seat have been pushing him to not to seek reelection and go for the governor seat in the 2022 general election.

“In your campaigns you are busy telling me to ‘go up’. Where is this that you want me to go to?” Nyamita wondered.

According to Nyamita the said leaders were arguing that the MP post had no ‘money’ but he said that he was not after enriching himself.

The MP urged the leaders to give him space to serve residents of Uriri and urged the leaders, some serving in elective posts, to concentrate on bringing services to their electorates.

He said it was too early to start politicking insisting that he was in Uriri to stay.

“I want to ask my MCA’s here that let everyone concentrate on his or her job. Do your job and let me do mine,” said Nyamita.
