National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula has urged Kenyans to keep off protests as called for by ODM leader Raila Odinga noting that holding demonstrations will not help put food on their tables.
The Speaker said that Kenyans should instead focus on the Kenya Kwanza development plan which he says is set to reduce the high cost of living.
“Elections ended a long time ago and there is no time to waste other than serving the people”, he said.
The Speaker blamed the Azimio camp for trying to obstruct President William Ruto’s administration from developing Kenya’s economy with what he terms as unconstructive rallies.
“I want to tell our President William Ruto to concentrate on serving the people of Kenya and ensure that taxes collected are put in the right use, work towards bringing down the cost of fuel, create employment opportunity among other pressing issues in our country, “he said.
Speaking as he presided over a funds drive event at Kiboswa SDA church in Chesumei constituency, Nandi County, Wetang’ula urged worshipers to pray for Kenya from the confusion he says Raila wants to instill in the country.
“Kenya has already moved on to build her economy and the Kenya Kwanza government will not allow room for mass action in the country,” he said.
“Even here, they thought things were going to be different, but we came here and changed the narrative and the equilibrium of politics in this area. You voted in young and focused leaders who are eager to bring development.”
The Speaker’s sentiments were echoed by Transport CS Kipchumba Murkomen who pointed out that it was still too early for Azimio to move to the streets in protest since the government is working hard to restore the economy and bring down the cost of living.
The Speaker likewise commended the region’s leaders saying that they are brilliant young people who have a strong political stand which contributed greatly to the Kenya Kwanza Government assuming power.
Wetangula and leaders presents at the function also joined the wave against the LGBTQ+ ruling by the Supreme Court which they termed as a breach to Kenya’s society and morals.
He urged the church to stand firm and defend its stand against such behaviors and to ensure they impact good morals upon society
Wetangula appreciated the church leadership noting that the Church is an important foundation of society and that it is the cornerstone of socio-economic development in Kenya.
He noted that the church has continued to offer great support to family and thanked the clergy for giving Kenyans great counsel in trying times
Wetangula asked the church to continue offering prayers for the wellbeing of the country.
Other leaders in attendance included; Nandi Governor Stephen Sang, Nandi Senator Samson Cherarkey, Chesumei MP Paul Biego, Mosop MP Abraham Kirwa, Tongaren MP Murumba Chikati, Tinderet MP Julius Kibiwot among other leaders.
