Saboti Constituency Member of Parliament Caleb Amisi has said he is ready to lead a political revolution in Western region.
Speaking at a burial event in Muroki, Trans Nzoia County, the youthful and ambitious lawmaker faulted the Speaker of the National Assembly Moses Wetangula and the Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi for failing to lobby for development projects in Western.
The two are senior Luhya political leaders in the Kenya Kwanza administration which they campaigned for in the 2022 general election.
“They (Musalia and Wetangula) are claiming to be the third in command in this country but they have nothing to show and it is high time they exit the stage for visionary and development oriented leaders,” Amisi said.
The ODM lawmaker further said he has all it takes to solidly unite the people of the vote-rich former Western province and lead them into prosperity.
“If they have failed to bring us our rightful share in this government, I can perfectly do that with your blessing because I’m visionary and very swift,” he added.
Is Luhya community politically divided?
In addition, Amisi dismissed the notion that the Luhya community is not united arguing that the narrative is pushed by some selfish politicians who thrive in disunity.
“Personally, I am a Maragoli but I was voted for Bukusus and therefore it is not true that we Luhyas are not united. We are very united and all we need is development,” he stated.
The MP is one of the politicians who have come out to challenge the status quo in Western region politics and leadership.
Others are Trans Nzoia County Governor George Natembeya, Bumula Constituency Member of Parliament in Bungoma County Jack Wamboka as well as Vihiga County Senator Godfrey Osotsi.
Natembeya has in the recent months been leading an anti-Wetangula campaign.
His recently-unveiled ‘Tawe Movement’ has quickly been gaining momentum across Trans Nzoia County and beyond.
