Speaker of the National Assembly Moses Wetang’ula  (pictured)has asked politicians across the country to desist from retrogressive politics that will only continue hurting the economy and frustrating the common mwananchi.

Addressing a congregation during a Sunday Mass Service at Christ the King Catholic Church in Kanduyi, Wetang’ula said that the country had long moved on after last year’s General Elections noting that there was no need for a section of leaders to engage the country in protests.

“I would like to call upon Members of Parliament drawn from both the Azimio and the Kenya Kwanza teams to desist from retrogressive politics and allow Kenyans to move forward as they struggle to cope with the daily life challenges and struggles,” he said.

The Speaker said that Kenyans were enjoying a relatively calm political environment emphasising that there was no need to trigger political temperatures in the country.

Many problems

“There are many problems bedevilling Kenyans from school fees, to putting food on the table and these issues of bringing protests across the country over bygones is unhealthy and uncalled for, “he said.

“I want to tell our politicians to go slow as Kenya Kwanza government works to make life better and more affordable”, he added.

 Wetang’ula praised Christian faithful for their continuous prayers and love which he said enabled him ascend to the position of Speaker.
