National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangu’la on Sunday hit out to leaders from Western Kenya opposed to National unity government led by President William Ruto.
Speaking in Bungoma, Wetangu’la further questioned the leaders’ motive of opposing an inclusive government, as the rest of the country has welcomed the move.
He argued that the country was in the right direction in calling out for peace, after four members from the Orange Democratic Movement Party (ODM), were nominated in various ministries.
He further lauded the efforts by William Ruto and Raila Odinga for putting aside their differences and embracing calls for peace and unity.
“The country is in a trajectory of healing. I want to thank our Kenya Kwanza government and Raila Odinga and his party for accepting that the country is bigger than an individual, and together we can build a better Kenya. This is the only way of bring people together,” he stated.
He further urged the residents to pray for leaders in the region opposed to unity of the country,
‘I want us to pray for leaders who do not want the unity of Kenyans to have change of heart and join the journey of uniting the nation,” he urged.
His sentiments comes barely a day before leaders from the region led by Trans Nzoia governor George Natembeya announced a meeting for leaders from the region in Kakamega tomorrow, July 29 to deliberate the way forward for Mulembe Nation.
Natembeya criticized the National Assembly Speaker for embracing the pick, yet despite being third in command in the country received no nomination of his people to the cabinet.
The leaders met who in Nairobi last Friday, included ODM secretary general Edwin Sifuna, and ODM MPs from the region and other political parties affiliated to the Opposition coalition.
Earlier, Sifuna had said the nominated CS decision to join the Kenya Kwanza government was not linked to the party, but and it was an individual decision, as the four members had no blessings from the party.
However, through his official account, Saboti Lawmaker Caleb Amisi, said the meeting was postponed to undisclosed date to allow leaders from the region to comeback from their foreign trips.
