National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula has emphasized the importance of unity within the Western region, asserting that the community has come a long way in the country’s leadership.

Speaking in Lugari, Kakamega County, during a Women Empowerment Program hosted by area MP Nabii Nabwera, Wetang’ula reminded residents that the Speakership is the third-highest position in Kenya’s leadership and should not be underestimated.

“The Luhya community must remain united in support of President William Ruto’s government, which prioritizes the best interests of this country,” Wetang’ula stated.

He highlighted that under President Ruto’s leadership, road infrastructure expansion and power connectivity are key priorities aimed at spurring development in Western Kenya.

He noted that the Kenya Kwanza Government has employed the highest number of teachers in the nation’s history.

Wetang’ula pointed out several milestones achieved under President Ruto’s administration in Western Kenya, including the tarmacking of the Musikoma–Munganzi Road and the upgrading of Masinde Muliro Stadium, as well as the tarmacking of the Turbo–Naitiri–Sikhendu–Endebese Road, which connects four counties: Uasin Gishu, Trans Nzoia, Kakamega, and Bungoma.

“Sugar factories are being revived to ensure that farmers receive timely payments for their sugarcane, purchased at fair prices. We urge our people to avoid divisive and parochial politics in favor of fact-based, agenda-driven leadership that focuses on uplifting lives and unlocking opportunities.”

He stressed the importance of empowering women, stating that it ultimately leads to the empowerment of society. He underscored the significance of government initiatives that aim to boost women’s groups in economic development. Wetang’ula also emphasized the need for civic education to encourage residents to register with the IEBC and obtain identity cards.

He reiterated the importance of unity among Luhya leaders and expressed his commitment to working in harmony with Chief Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi and Cabinet Secretary for Cooperatives and Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) Development Wycliffe Oparanya.

“Unity of purpose has no boundaries. Let us foster friendships with each other and with all other leaders across the country,” he concluded.

MP Nabii Nabwera called on other Luhya leaders to unite for the betterment of Kenyan lives, stating, “Kenya is one united country that we all must feel proud of.”
Senate Majority Leader Aaron Cheruiyot emphasized that economic empowerment projects are designed to enhance the Bottom-Up Agenda promised by the Kenya Kwanza regime.

“What are those criticizing the government doing to uplift the people? Our host MP Nabii is hardworking and focused on development, especially in road networks, water supply, and education,” Cheruiyot asserted.

He added that President Ruto’s Government inherited a substantial debt but aims to encourage Kenyans to register with the SHA to secure their healthcare, with affordable housing also taking center stage to create jobs for youth.

“The broad-based government is now working across all political divides to promote development.”
Navakholo MP Emmanuel Wangwe and Aldai counterpart Marian Keiytan urged Kenyans to concentrate on development, mentioning that stalled projects such as markets and other progressive initiatives are now progressing.

Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa stated that the Luhya community will only gain recognition in the formation of the next government if they choose to remain united.

“I urge the residents of our great Western Region to stay united and vote for President William Ruto,” he said.

Kiminini MP Kakai Bisau noted that the Western Region is beginning to experience the benefits of the Kenya Kwanza regime. “This is the first time we have witnessed development across the region. The IEBC has begun voter registration, so please turn up in large numbers and register for your IDs.”

Webuye East MP Martin Pepela asserted that the Luhya community aspires to have a seat at the national table.

Kanduyi MP John Makali praised the Women Economic Empowerment program as an excellent initiative to support women across the country.

“In the next elections, we will vote as a bloc for President William Ruto. Insults and tribal politics will remain a thing of the past,” he declared.

Sirisia MP John Waluke stated that President Ruto has developed a clear agenda for Kenya. “We will strive to deliver for the country. He is a visionary leader who deserves support to achieve his agenda. We must also ensure transparency in police recruitment.”

Kakamega County Woman Representative Elsie Muhanda noted that women’s empowerment programs have established numerous savings and credit cooperatives (SACCOs) and groups across the county.
“We are now in a development partnership with William Ruto, and we must continue to support the government to benefit our people. All of our leaders from Western must unite for the good of our community and development agenda.”
