Sell ideas not insults, Wetagula to politician
Speaker of the National Assembly Moses Wetang’ula has implored politicians to uphold peace and compete on ideas rather than insults.
The Speaker warned that the conduct of certain leaders was polarising the nation at a time when unity of purpose was essential for any meaningful development.
Wetang’ula urged the Church to pray for the nation amid heightened political tensions as the contest for control of the political space intensifies.
“In the past, I have consistently said that we must uphold peace, because peace has no alternative in life. We may disagree, but we must do so respectfully; we may compete, but we must do so respectfully,” Wetang’ula said.
“Peace has no alternative; it’s the only path that guarantees stability, unity and progress for our society.”
He reiterated his commitment to securing City Status for Bungoma Town by ensuring all the necessary requirements were met.
“I will ensure Bung’oma is upgraded to a City in my lifetime,” he said.
Wetang’ula also urged Kenyans to remain steadfast in their faith and service to God as the country navigates challenging times.
He emphasised the importance of faith in leadership and nation-building.
