Deputy President William Ruto friends and politician Musalia Mudavadi asks Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa and Kakamega Governor Wycliffe Oparanya to declare their preferred 2022 presidential candidate.



Dethroned Majority Whip Benjamin Washiali, MPs Malulu Injendi (Malava), Dan Wanyama (Webuye West), Didmus Barasa (Kimilili), Ayub Savula (Lugari) and former Kakamega Senator, Dr. Boni Khalwale, states that CS Wamalwa and Oparanya should be realistic with the public on whom they recommend.


“It is a season of politics and the handshake is not an individual to vote for in an election, so let them come out clear because if they’ve no interest in the seat and they are against Musalia and Ruto then they should name their candidate, " Washiali imposed.


" The so-called development agenda for the region was a smokescreen for invisible forces seeking to divide the Western region through Wamalwa and Oparanya, " said Washiali when he hosted Jubilee’s Tanga Tanga MPs at his Shianda rural home in Mumias East constituency.


“Where have they been for eight years to wake up now and declare they stand for development?” the MP asked.


"The government tax waivers, plan to lease the public-owned sugar factories, and a ban on brown sugar imports are designed to benefit key players in the sector, " he added.

" We know those who are benefitting the loot. So you have to come to western and tell the people the truth, " he added.


Savula, talking at a separate function in Kilingili, Likuyani Constituency accused Oparanya and Wamalwa of being dishonest in their opposition to Musalia’s candidacy.
