Prime Cabinet Secretary has issued a stern warning on Western region leaders who skipped President William Ruto's tour. 

Speaking at the interdenominational service in Bungoma County, Mudavadi condemned leaders who were misled to skip the tour of the President saying it has no basis.

"I regret when some leaders from our region are ill-advised to skip the President's tour which is focusing on enhancing our regional unity and collaboration with the national government," he said. 

Mudavadi added that Ruto's tour is also aimed at creating jobs and building mutual respect for the region to have the much-needed negotiating power in government. 

"I want to warn them as early as this, they should recall what happened to some of us in the run-up to the repeat Presidential elections of 2017, when our captain by that time misled our supporters to boycott and we all ended up losing,” he added.

He noted that the unity of purpose they have been seeking as a region has now begun to manifest.

“The President has a lot of faith in the people of Western Kenya because we have demonstrated that we are ready to support his agenda of transforming the economy of this country and making the lives of all Kenyans better," he said. 

The Prime CS reassured the Head of State and his government of full support from the leadership and the people of the Western Kenya region.

He said they are ready to support his agenda now and in the future.
