WAMALWA is like a PRODIGAL SON - LUHYA elders


Wednesday November 28, 2012 - The Luhya Council of Elders has welcomed Justice and Constitutional Affairs minister Eugene Wamalwa after he ditched the mooted alliance involving Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta and Eldoret North MP William Ruto.


Through the Council chairman Patrick Wangamati, the leaders expressed their happiness with Wamalwa’s move, saying they will ensure he remains relevant politically.


“It is good that Eugene Wamalwa has seen light at the end of the tunnel because he has been our biggest problem in uniting the Luhya Presidential aspirants,” Wangamati said.


The chairman said efforts by the elders to ensure the region fields one Presidential candidate had been frustrated by elected leaders who were hijacked by power brokers.


He said the Luhya community will convene a meeting with all Presidential aspirants to find a way forward.


Among the Presidential candidates expected at the meeting includes Deputy Prime Minister Musalia Mudavadi, Eugene Wamalwa, Lugari MP Cyrus Jirongo and Trade Minister Moses Wetangula.
