Reactions to Mulembe unity talks

Western Kenya leaders have agreed to hold their leadership positions in the trust of the people during the Mulembe People’s Assembly meeting that was held in Kakamega on Monday, July 29, 2024.

Leaders who attended the meeting came up with key resolutions aimed at settling the Mulembe unity issue.

United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Secretary General Cleophas Malala stated that all leaders from the region, elected or appointed, would discard their political differences and pull towards a unified centre.

“The Mulembe people resolve to henceforth, use their numerical strength to form or bargain with the government,” the resolutions read in part.

“All leaders from the Western region hold their positions in the trust of the people and must at all times stay accountable to Mulembe, an oversight Mulembe multisectoral committee to take stock of all development projects budgeted or initiated in the Western region this financial year.”
