Wednesday, April 10,2024 - Trans Nzoia County Governor, George Natembeya, has said Prime Cabinet Secretary, Musalia Mudavadi, has zero influence on Western Kenya politics despite holding such a powerful position in the Kenya Kwanza Alliance Government.
Mudavadi is
the third in command after President William Ruto and his deputy, Rigathi
Gachagua.
In a candid
interview with Spice FM on Tuesday, Natembeya emphasised
that the Orange Democratic Movement party leader still holds sway over the
community in comparison to Mudavadi and other former influential figures,
asserting that President William Ruto will still have to go through the former PM
to convince the Mulembe community on certain political matters.
Furthermore, the outspoken County
boss suggested that if the President were to remove Mudavadi from his position,
it wouldn't greatly affect the people, as Mudavadi's support base had
diminished.
"Today
he is there alone.”
“The position Mudavadi holds in
Government is what we call tokenism.”
“He can be fired today and no
Luhya will cry.”
“Today if the President wants
to talk to Luhyas, he will go through Raila because the latter's ODM party is
dominant in the region.”
“In the previous elections, ODM
used to get more votes for Raila in Bungoma but in 2022, 200,000 people
supported the president and that is what Moses Wetang'ula used to secure his
seat.”
“But I assure you that does not
carry the entire community," he
stated.
