Minority Leader in the National Assembly Junet Mohammed has asked leaders and Kenyans at large to tone down on political rhetoric and wait for 2027.
Mohammed noted that Kenya is a constitutional democracy; and goes to election every five years.
“In a constitutional democracy, everybody gets the opportunity to vote for their preferred candidates. In the last election, we as the Minority side had out candidate. The Majority side also had their candidate,” he stated.
Mohammed said it was wrong for some politicians to plot to remove their leader.
“What has surprised me is that one year after the elections, people who made conscious decision to elect a candidate for five good years have been coming to me asking that I help them remove that person from office. I cannot do that job for now. We will wait for another election,” he affirmed.
“Some come to me with strange stories. Stories about Zakayo the Tax Collector and Kasongo, let us wait for 2027.”
He reiterated that even those on the Majority side should wait for 2027.
“If you voted for this government and got tired early, others are still strong. We are not ready to do such work. Find other people to do it,” he added.
Mohammed maintained that the Minority side is up to task in the House.
“We as the Minority in the National; Assembly know our work. We are supposed to fight for the rights of the people through constitutional means.”
He spoke in Bungoma at the burial of the late Mama Anne Nanyama, the mother of National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula.
Mama Nanyama, Born on March 9, 1930, into the Babuya clan from Sirare Village, died on Friday, December 20 after a long illness.
Present at the event were President William Ruto, Prime CS Musalia Mudavadi and a host of MPs and senators
