Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya has reignited political debate after launching a scathing attack on Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi and National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula.
Speaking during a church service, Natembeya accused the two Western Kenya political heavyweights of over-reliance on President William Ruto, suggesting their influence would collapse without his support.
The governor’s remarks have stirred conversations both locally and nationally, with some Kenyans interpreting them as a challenge to the so-called “Mulembe unity” championed by Mudavadi and Wetang’ula.
Political analysts argue that Natembeya’s boldness may resonate with voters eager for fresh leadership and independence in regional politics. Others, however, caution that such statements could deepen divisions in Western Kenya ahead of 2027.
As the debate unfolds, one question lingers: Is Natembeya positioning himself as the new face of Western Kenya politics?
