PETER SALASYA mocks UDA aspirants over State House 'Handout' expectations, reveals the amount they were given - "Walipangwa line kama gunia za makaa"

Thursday, February 05, 2026 - Mumias East MP, Peter Salasya, has once again stirred online chatter after mocking United Democratic Alliance (UDA) aspirants who flocked to State House on Wednesday, February 4^th, 2026, for a meeting with President William Ruto.

According to Salasya, many of the hopefuls arrived with high expectations of financial handouts, only to leave empty-handed.

Taking to his X account, the outspoken lawmaker laughed off their disappointment.

“Wenye walienda na expectations za pesa breaking news wote walipangwa line kama gunia za makaa,” he wrote, loosely translating to: “All who went with expectations of money were forced to line up like bags of charcoal.”

According to Salasya, all the aspirants including current MPs and Governors were each given just Ksh 5,000.

Salasya went further, warning that the aspirants’ unmet expectations could backfire at the grassroots.

He claimed supporters will assume each aspirant received millions and will line up at their homes demanding a share.

“Alafu ground itasikia ulipewa 10M will be lining at his home,” he added.

The State House meeting brought together more than 12,000 aspirants, where President Ruto outlined his administration’s achievements and vision.

He urged attendees to act as party ambassadors and spread UDA’s message ahead of the 2027 General Elections.

The high-profile gathering also attracted notable figures, including former Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria and Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi, both seen as key players in shaping UDA’s future.
