Candidate announcement
National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula has taken aim at Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, saying aspiring to become President requires experience, national networks and years of political engagement, not just a sudden entry into the political scene.
Wetang’ula urged young politicians seeking the country’s top seat to be patient and build relationships across Kenya, warning against assuming leadership before establishing a strong national political base.
Speaking to residents in Bungoma on Friday, the Speaker cited Kenya’s political history, arguing that leaders who have risen to the presidency or mounted serious presidential bids have done so after years of political involvement.
