Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has addressed reports that he is having a strained relationship with Senate Speaker Moses Wetang'ula.
Mudavadi said the notion that there exists supremacy battles between the two is being driven by leaders he described as "having the habit of hoping from one funeral to another to engage in petty gossip".
“There are leaders, especially politicians who are hoping from one funeral to another engaging in petty gossip, talking about non-existence supremacy wars between my brother Wetang'ula and I. I want to tell them they should stop that nonsense,” Mudavadi said.
“Wetang'ula and I in the run-up to the 2022 General election reflected and did thorough soul searching. We listened to the voices on the ground. The voice of the people was strong and that is why we decided to shake the political landscape of Kenya,” he added.
Mudavadi spoke on Friday during a thanksgiving ceremony of newly elected Ford-K secretary general and Tongaren MP John Chikati.
Also present was the National Assembly speaker Moses Wetang'ula.
Mudavadi said that unity between Wetangula and him bore the Kenya Kwanza movement which sent tremors across the political scene and also led to the formation of the current government.
He called on the people of Western Kenya to unite behind him and Wetang'ula, saying they have good intentions for the region.
