hospitals is fewer especially in slums where the population is high.

Similarly, while stating that he will vie for the governor’s seat on an ODM ticket, Kidero has pledged that he cannot issue empty promises and will only do what he is able to. Deliver.
'' Many have promised in the past they will do this or that but my principle is that I shall do the much I can to elevate you to another level but tackling serious issues like health, Education and security," adds he.
He has urged the people of Mathare to turn out in large numbers and vote for him during the nominations so as to have an edge over the rest of the competitors.

ensure that we move forward economically and democratically,” Said Kidero.
