Energy Cabinet Secretary Opiyo Wandayi has rallied Nyanza to support President William Ruto’s administration.
He described their working union with Kenya Kwanza Alliance as the first milestone in a bigger political journey for the region.
While rallying the region to support the government of the day, he said it was a turning point for the region.
His sentiments were supported by Interior Principal Secretary Raymond Omollo.
They argued that the turning point for the Nyanza region is the several appointments made by the President, which are of great benefit to the people.
Speaking in his Sijimbo home during a thanksgiving ceremony, Wandayi said that never again will a government be formed without the inclusion of the Nyanza region.
“As a community, we have decided that we will work with the government. We are working while inside and not just now but tomorrow and also in the future. It is our wish that never again a government will be formed and we are not part of it. Never again will a government be formed without inclusion of our people,” he said.
The former Minority Leader appreciated President Ruto for making a bold decision to constitute a government every community feels accommodated and part of.
“We also thank ODM leader Raila Odinga for sending us to sit in the Executive. For us, it is a defining moment and turning point. We are saying in one accord that never shall we find ourselves outside government,” he noted.
The CS said as the country starts the journey of unity, they will ensure that the development agenda will extend to every community.
PS Omollo said it is an opportunity for those appointed to make a difference in the lives of their people.
“As we connect electricity to other parts of the country, our people will not be left behind. To be able to deliver is a journey, we have a responsibility to consult with our people to ensure they benefit. We want them to get power to improve their livelihoods,” he said.
