National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula has broken his silence following the attack on Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya in his home area of Kabuchai, Bungoma County.
Speaking on Saturday in Kakamega County’s Malava Constituency during a campaign rally for UDA candidate David Ndakwa, Wetangula urged Western Kenya leaders to embrace unity, political maturity, and development-oriented politics.
Addressing a large gathering at Shamberere Primary School, the Speaker criticized leaders who, he said, had resorted to insults instead of constructive engagement.
Wetangula stressed that the region’s progress can only be achieved through cooperation and respect among leaders across political divides.

He specifically called on Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale to refrain from what he termed as divisive and disrespectful politics, urging him to “show leadership and abandon politics of insults.” Wetangula noted that maturity in politics demands dignity and focus on issues that uplift citizens rather than provoke tensions.
In his statement, Wetangula also took aim at the United Opposition, accusing them of shifting public debate from solutions to personal attacks.
He warned that “lies have limits” and reminded the crowd that some leaders posing as reformists still have unresolved questions relating to past security scandals, including cases of bodies found in River Yala and Tsavo.
The Speaker emphasized the need to protect leaders, maintain peace, and ensure the stability of the region.
He rallied Malava residents to support Ndakwa in the upcoming November 27 by-election, saying the constituency has historically aligned with the government under former MPs Joshua Angatia, Soita Shitanda and Malulu Injendi.
“Electing Ndakwa will keep Malava in government as we forge forward together,” Wetangula said, urging voters to seize the opportunity to strengthen Western Kenya’s political unity.
