Three weeks ago, Nasieku addressed press and told off a section of individuals who are out to mess the party.
He claimed a section of individuals are planning to ouster him.
Nasieku who comes from Maa Community, lauded Party Leader Rigathi Gachagua for entrusting leadership in him as SG for the new political formation.
He challenged some of the individuals from Mount Kenya Region who are causing wrangles within the party to desist from such as it weakens the Party that is currently putting roots in Nakuru.
According to the vocal Nasieku, his way of doing things and ensuring that there will be credible party elections does not sink well with some people within the party.
“The Party Leader Rigathi Gachagua entrusted me with the leadership as SG even though I’m a Maasai. But some individuals are out to ouster me because I stand for truth. Let aspirants know that there is no direct ticket but the people will decide. Those going against the party guidelines and lying to aspirants that they can have direct tickets should desist,” he stated.
