National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula has told the Mulembe nation to ignore attempts by any person to lure them into joining the opposition through unnecessary demos.
Wetang'ula said the region is fully in government and ready for the meaningful development it has been yearning for.
Speaking at Navakholo in Kakamega, the Speaker also called for a united Luhya leadership in a bid to consolidate the region's development and enhance their political Journey.
"When we come together as a community our strength is felt, our bargaining power is stronger and our development is visible, "he said.
Wetang'ula asked residents to forget the many Luhya sub-tribes that have often tried to divide the region, adding that they were all one family with one common goal.
"I salute our MPs for the unity that they are demonstrating of late by coming together for the community's sake," he said.
"I also like to thank our MCAs across all our western region's counties of Busia, Vihiga, Kakamega, Trans Nzoia and Bungoma for being our able grassroots foot soldiers who champion our region's unity. In a few weeks’ time, I will be having a meeting with all of you to discuss our future politics as a region,” he said.
“Being together is a good beginning, walking together is progress and sticking together is a great success,” he added.
He offered to support those who are beginners in politics telling them he was their political father and that he was ready to hold their hands.
"I encourage our leaders to shun divisive politics and pull together to ensure that our region attains development."
The Speaker told the gathering that President Ruto had not yet presented his first budget in Parliament for consideration promising them that when he does the budget their development agendas will be considered.
"We took over a government that had huge debts. As a country, we are currently experiencing the worst drought in many years since 1986 and has adversely affected farming, livestock and the wildlife in our parks hence pausing a challenge in uplifting the economy," he said.
