The self proclaimed Gusii community spokesperson Simba Arati has now backed the move by Gusii leaders to unite.
The Dagoretti North MP said Gusii leaders unity will help the region grow socially, economically and politically.
"For several years leaders have been divided along political lines but, I'm happy that an agreement has been reached by all leaders irrespective of their political affiliations to work together with one purpose of pushing for development," he noted.
Arati said the unity among the leaders will help to negotiate for the national cake for the benefit of the Gusii community as a whole.
He insisted that he will articulate issues affecting the community since he is the spokesperson.
"I'm appealing to members of the community to be calm and support elected leaders so that development can be realized. As a community we will not continue lagging behind in terms of development," said Arati.
The vocal Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party lauded elected leaders from the region for agreeing to join the unity movement adding that the future of the community is headed to the right direction.
