National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula has called on political leaders to steer clear of divisive rhetoric, emphasizing that most Kenyans are eager for peace and national stability.
Speaking during a public event in Taveta, Taita Taveta County, Wetang’ula criticized opposition figures for engaging in confrontational politics that risk plunging the country into chaos.
He urged leaders across the political divide to embrace unity and responsible leadership, stating that Kenyans are increasingly weary of toxic and confrontational political practices.
According to the Speaker, the country needs leaders who focus on development and inclusivity rather than stoking divisions for personal or political gain.
Coast region leaders, led by Mining Cabinet Secretary Ali Hassan Joho, echoed Wetang’ula’s sentiments and called on residents to prepare for active participation in the 2027 General Election.
Joho noted that the Coast region holds substantial electoral influence and will be a crucial player in determining the direction of the country’s future leadership.
Likoni Member of Parliament Mishi Mboko reinforced Joho’s remarks, asserting that the region possesses a significant number of votes capable of swaying the outcome of the next presidential election.
She emphasized the importance of strategic political engagement to ensure the region’s interests are effectively represented.
The leaders issued a strong caution to politicians attempting to sow discord within the Coast community, referring to such tactics as outdated and unproductive. They urged unity among residents and warned against falling for divisive schemes meant to weaken regional solidarity.
