Tuesday, March 26,2024 - An outspoken United Democratic Alliance (UDA) MP has called Trans Nzoia county Governor George Natembeya foolish for thinking that he can use goons to become the Luhya community kingpin.
This comes after Natembeya's and
National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula's supporters clashed during a funeral
on Friday in what is perceived as a supremacy battle over the region's
political kingship.
Speaking on Tuesday, Kilifi
North MP Owen Baya claimed that the chaos was initiated by Natembeya who
intentionally arrived at the occasion with his alleged goons to cause unrest.
"He has been preparing to
face Wetangula in a dual that is not civilized," he told a local TV
station.
In Baya's view, the speculated
battles are a residue of Natembeya's thirst for power and he is willing to go
to any lengths to attain it.
"We have young leaders in
this country who have no values and one of the leaders that we see now is
Natembeya. He is so power hungry that he thinks the only way to dominate the
region and to grasp power is to use the goons that we saw in that
funeral," he said.
"That is the only thing
that he understands."
The legislator maintained that
Speaker Wetangula boasts a formidable political prominence in Kenya and
Natembeya's moves will be futile.
