Alego Usonga MP Samuel Atandi wants some governors from Luo Nyanza region to keep off the Building Bridges Initiative rallies or be barred from addressing the forums should they attend over ‘lack of content on the ongoing national debate’.
Hon. Samuel Atandi hit out at the governors for what he described as lack of content on the BBI national conversation.
He said it was high the time the governors resumed responsibilities in their respective counties, adding that the region is ably represented in the BBI forums by Opposition chief Raila Odinga and other elected leaders.“Asking all Luo Nyanza Governors to go back to work. You have zero content for BBI national conversations. After all, Baba has already read the report,” he said.
Atandi advised the governors to choose their Kisumu colleague Prof Anyang’ Nyongo as a representative in future BBI forums to avoid the embarrassment being witnessed.“It seems it is only Nyong’o who has an idea of what BBI is all about and should represent them to end these weekly embarrassments our people are treated to,” he said. Atandi accused the governors of trivialising a serious process aimed at redeeming the Kenya nation through empty and unnecessary speeches.
He said the governors can do other things in their respective counties or if they have to attend, should not be allowed to speak because they have no idea what BBI is all about.“It is shameful to attend all the forums, but when allowed to speak, the only thing you get right is greetings. Zero language, zero content.”
MP took issues with Siaya Governor Cornel Rasanga’s comments on the 2017 disputed election results during the Narok BBI rally, saying the governor exhibited lack of content on the ongoing national dialogue.“We have moved on. We are now part of the new Kenya. The past is gone. Let Rasanga keep off issues like who stole votes and whose votes were stolen in 2017,” added Atandi.
