After a series of rally across Western counties that brought the towns at a standill, Trans Nzoia governor George Natembeya arrived at his county in Kitale, where he was received by a multitude of residents from Sikhendu to Kitale Town.
Addressing the residents at Kitale Bus Park, Natembeya slammed Kiminini legislator Kakai Bissau for constant interviews and chants in funerals accusing him of owning big parcels of land within the county, Natembeya has asked Bissau to provide the evidence at the court, as the case is already in court.
He further asked the leaders to stop political infights, as his troubles are linked to leaders within the county spreading baseless romours to harm his character.
“Go tell Kakai Bissau that I have said he should stop propagating romours, and take the evidence in court, as the case is now there, and stop spreading propaganda in radio interviews and funerals that I own lands in the county. I urge fellow leaders to stop these political infights, hiyo ndio imenizalia njaa!” Natembeya remarked.
The rivalry between the governor and the legislator started way before, with the supporters of the two clashing during the funeral of late IEBC former chairperson Wafula Chebukati’ s home in Kiminini in March.
Earlier, Governor Natembeya, while in Kakamega County, strongly condemned acts of dictatorship, abuse and humiliation. He advised Kenyans not to be swayed by the president’s way of dealing with dissenting views and leaders in the opposition, as it will not thwart his efforts to call for the region’s unity.
“We do not want any instances of oppression for our people. Leaders who want elective positions must come and bargain with us in 2027, we do not want to be despised as a community again!” Natembeya said while in Kakamega.
According to Natembeya, the unity of the Mulembe Nation, will bring sleepless nights to leaders who do not want to see the community make progress. He said the course is unstoppable, until the community with is large population have a say in the national politics.
He faulted National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula and Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi for allowing poverty to spreading within the region, failure to champion development programs, despite holding lucrative seats in government for many years.
