A move by Ford Kenya MPs to skip the homecoming ceremony of Kabuchai MP Majimbo Kalasinga has elicited concerns with speculations of possible cracks emerging.
Kalasinga on Friday hosted his homecoming party at his Kabuchaio home and none of the Ford Kenya MP or MCA graced the occasion.
The party saw only DAP-K Mps attend the function alongside an ODM MP.
MPs who were present at the event were Peter Salasya (Mumias East), John Waluke (Sirisia), Kakai Bisau (Kiminini), Samuel Moroto (Kapenguria) and his Lugari counterpart Nabii Nabwera.
Speaking at the event on Friday, MP Waluke condemned Ford Kenya leaders for snubbing the homecoming event.
Waluke asked MPs from the Western region to d work together for the development of the region.
“On Thursday, I was with the Chief Cabinet Minister Musalia Mudavadi and Speaker Moses Wetang’ula. They promised me that they would be here so that we can enjoy together but unfortunately, they have failed to show up,” Waluke said.
“As the Western member of parliament caucus chairman, I won’t allow such to happen, we agreed to work together for a common goal to develop the region.”
On their part, a section of Ford Kenya leaders in Bungoma County said they missed the homecoming event owing to his recent utterances on a local FM radio station that seemed to intimidate the Kenya Kwanza government over the Finance bill.
Majimbo said there are sections in the proposed finance bill that he disagrees with, affirming that he will firmly vote a big NO in the parliament.
The sections in the finance bill that MP Majimbo opposes include; tax levied on the teachers and the increase of motorbike fuel from 8% to 16%.
“There are some proposals in the finance bill that I personally disagree with, I will not vote ‘yes’ on them,” Majimbo said.
