National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula has raised political eyebrows after meeting a section of Trans Nzoia County Assembly members (MCAs).
Wetang’ula in a post on his social media pages on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, said he held a consultative meeting with at least 15 MCAs from the county.
He further said he had convened the meeting in his capacity as FORD-Kenya Party Leader.
“Last evening, in my capacity as the FORD–Kenya Party Leader, I held a consultative meeting with a delegation of more than 15 MCAs from Trans Nzoia County,” Wetang’ula said.
The meeting was attended by among others Bungoma Governor Kenneth Lusaka, Bungoma Senator Wafula Wakoli, Trans Nzoia Senator Allan Chesang, Webuye East Member of Parliament Martin Pepela Wanyonyi, and Kanduyi’s John Makali.
What did Wetang’ula discuss with Trans Nzoia MCAs?
During the meeting, the FORD-KENYA party leader said their discussions focused on key issues affecting the people of Trans Nzoia from service delivery and development priorities to political cohesion and enhanced cooperation between the National Government and County Governments.
“I reaffirmed my unwavering commitment to continuous engagement with local leaders, emphasizing that strong collaboration across all levels of leadership is essential to driving social and economic development in our region,” Wetang’ula said.
He also revealed that he encouraged the MCAs to remain united in purpose and steadfast in their oversight role.
He further assured them of his full support as the region works to strengthen a seamless and productive relationship with national institutions.
The meeting comes at a time Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya has intensified his bid to popularise the Tawe Movement across Western Kenya counties.
Natembeya is seeking to topple Wetang’ula and Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi in the control of the Luhya community.
