Speaker Wetang’ula warns leaders against divisive ethnic politics

National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula has encouraged residents of the Central region to remain steadfast in supporting President William Ruto’s administration.

Speaking in Mwea constituency, Wetang’ula acknowledged the significant role the community played in the formation of the Kenya Kwanza government and urged them not to be swayed by divisive politics.

Addressing the congregation at St. Peter’s Claver, Mwea Parish, Wetang’ula highlighted the need to resist leaders attempting to create divisions along tribal lines.

“The unity you showed during the campaigns should persist for the sake of our country’s development and prosperity,” he stated.

Wetang’ula also advised the community to question leaders who promote unity under narrow interests, leaving out other communities.

He further stressed the role of churches in promoting national unity and encouraged the clergy to continue praying for Kenya.

“Family is the cornerstone of our country’s unity, and Parliament will keep enacting laws to protect family values,” he added.

Wanjiku and Maingi defended their decision to support the Finance Bill.

“I supported the Finance Bill because the document is good for the country and people should respect my decision,” said Wanjiku.

The MPs called for leaders to avoid using the Finance Bill to divide the country for their selfish political gains.

Wetang’ula was accompanied by Joyce Kamene (Machakos County MP), Ferdinand Wanyonyi (Kwanza), Paul Abour (Rongo), Jhanda Zaheer (Nyaribari Chache), Martin Pepela ( Webuye East), John Wanjiku (Kiambaa) and the host Mary Maingi among others.
