Sunday, April 6, 2025 - Kakamega Senator and Senate Majority Whip, Boni Khalwale, has hit out at President William Ruto, accusing him of sidelining the Luhya community and ignoring the region’s development needs.
Speaking from his rural home, a visibly frustrated Khalwale
didn’t mince his words.
“President Ruto, I want to tell you that you have left
Luhyas in the cold.”
“Your work is politics of lies to the Luhya nation.”
“Some of our roads are impassable, our industries have
closed their doors, but you keep on telling us lies every day,” he said.
Adding: “We have several roads in the Western that need
to be constructed. Misikhu to Matunda via Brigadier is in a bad state - what
are your thoughts, Mr. President?”
He called for Kakamega Referral Hospital to be elevated to
national status, similar to the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga facility in Nyanza.
Adding fuel to the fire, Khalwale accused Ruto of giving
preferential treatment to Luo leaders allied to Raila Odinga, claiming that the
promised 30% share for the Luhyas in the Kenya Kwanza Government has been
handed to the opposition instead.
He warned that if things don't change, Ruto shouldn't expect
support from the Mulembe nation come 2027.
“I want
to tell Mr. President that our 30 per cent that you promised Luhyas has gone to
Raila's backyard.”
“We
have no right to share what we fought for in the Kenya Kwanza government.”
“Your
friendship with Raila is none of our business, but we want developments for our
people," he added.
