National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula has issued a stern warning to political leaders against engaging in divisive ethnic politics, calling for unity and continued support for President William Ruto’s administration. During his address at St. Peter’s Claver, Mwea Parish, Wetang’ula commended the residents of the Central region for their crucial role in the formation of the Kenya Kwanza government and urged them to remain steadfast in their support.
In his remarks, Wetang’ula emphasized the importance of national unity, particularly highlighting the need to resist leaders who attempt to sow division along tribal lines. “The unity you showed during the campaigns should persist for the sake of our country’s development and prosperity,” he stated, underscoring the significance of maintaining solidarity for the betterment of Kenya.
Wetang’ula encouraged the congregation to critically assess the motives of leaders who claim to promote unity but do so under narrow, self-serving interests that exclude other communities. He urged the residents to remain vigilant and to support inclusive leadership that fosters national cohesion.
The Speaker also recognized the pivotal role of religious institutions in promoting unity and national cohesion. He called upon the clergy to continue their efforts in praying for the nation and advocating for peace and unity. “The church has always been a cornerstone in fostering unity. Your prayers and guidance are crucial in steering our country towards a harmonious future,” Wetang’ula added.
His visit to Mwea constituency comes at a time when the country is navigating the complexities of post-election politics, with various factions vying for influence. Wetang’ula’s call for unity and his warning against divisive politics resonate deeply in a nation that has experienced ethnic tensions in the past.
As the country looks forward, Wetang’ula’s message is clear: unity and inclusive leadership are paramount for Kenya’s development and prosperity. The residents of the Central region, along with all Kenyans, are encouraged to uphold these values and work together for a brighter future.
