Moses Wetang'ula addressed political leaders about maintaining restraint as Kenya approaches its 2027 general elections. The National Assembly Speaker delivered remarks following worship services at St Teresa of Calcutta church within Kawoundi Parish of Kisumu Diocese. Political figures must promote citizen empowerment rather than foster national divisions, according to Wetang'ula. Religious institutions serve as foundational elements for national unity and social integration. The Speaker emphasized prayer as essential for achieving peace while combating hatred and tribal conflicts.
Wetang'ula encouraged young Kenyans to complete voter registration since the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission operates at full capacity. Regional fishing regulations under the East African Community frameworks require revision despite decreased arrests of Lake Victoria fishermen. The Speaker previously advocated for respecting IEBC autonomy during the July church services in Bungoma. Politicians must avoid statements that could compromise Commission operations, according to Wetang'ula. Constitutional independence protects IEBC from external interference regardless of individual authority levels.
