Aspirant Governor for Nairobi County Moses Kuria says he doesn’t need Nairobi, insisting that Nairobi needs him.

Kuria says he does not consider the governorship essential to his political survival, arguing instead that Nairobi is in urgent need of radical leadership.

Kuria’s remarks come amid early manoeuvring by several political figures eyeing the Nairobi governorship, a seat widely viewed as one of the most influential sub-national offices in the country due to the capital’s economic weight and symbolic significance.
