The Cabinet Secretary for Lands and Housing, Alice Wahome, has addressed remarks made by Murang’a County Senator, Joe Nyutu, during a public event.

This statement comes as Wahome participates in COP29, an international climate conference held this year in Baku, Azerbaijan, where she represents Kenya in a series of high-level meetings focusing on climate and environmental governance.

Taking to her verified X account, Wahome shared her thoughts in a pointed message to Senator Nyutu.

“Joe Nyutu, Senator, Murang’a County, I have just arrived in Baku, Azerbaijan for COP29. I’m here for various high-level meetings on behalf of the Country. I have watched you on a church platform talking about ‘power,’” she wrote.

Wahome’s post highlights a clear focus on her priorities as a national leader, emphasizing her commitment to service delivery and governance.

“I am more interested in service delivery and governance and not power,” Wahome continued, indirectly addressing any narratives suggesting her involvement in local political machinations.

Her statement underscored her disinterest in power struggles and conveyed a broader message aimed at maintaining a professional and impartial stance.

Although Senator Nyutu’s original comments were not detailed in Wahome’s post, her reaction suggests a political undertone that prompted her to respond publicly.

She noted, “I don’t know who sent you to talk about me but kindly do not drag me into your politics.”

This line speaks to Wahome’s resistance to being pulled into internal political debates back home, especially while she is occupied with international obligations tied to climate action and national representation.

Wahome’s participation at COP29 reflects her active role in contributing to Kenya’s environmental strategies and sustainable development goals.

Her leadership in representing the country at a global climate summit aligns with Kenya’s ongoing efforts to advance policy discussions on climate resilience, housing development, and land management.

It showcases a balance between her ministerial duties and a commitment to staying above partisan politics.

The situation highlights the sometimes-tense dynamic between local political figures and national leaders navigating high-stakes international responsibilities.

Wahome’s response serves as a reminder of her focus on substantive governance, echoing a broader call for maintaining political decorum and purpose-driven public service.

COP29 continues to be an essential platform for countries to negotiate climate policies, and Wahome’s presence signifies Kenya’s active engagement in addressing global climate challenges.
