Speaking after attending the burial of former West Mugirango MP Henry Obwocha on Friday, some MPs led by Borabu MP Ben Momanyi from the region said he is unfit to hold the position.

“Arati is an elected MP in Nairobi County. He should, therefore, be named Nairobi spokesman and not the Gusii region spokesperson. Elected leaders from Gusii region should consider a different person for the position who will articulate issues of the community nationally,” he said. 

 The Wiper Party MP said he will not be part of the leaders supporting Arati for the Gusii spokesperson post.

West Mugirango MP Vincent Kemosi also reiterated that Arati should focus on city politics and stop loitering in the Gusii region to seek support which he will not get. 

“Arati should seek support become Nairobi County spokesperson and not Gusii region. It is advisable for him to stop interfering with the Gusii community’s politics,” said Kemosi.

Kemosi regretted that some elders were bribed by Arati so that they can crown him as the community spokesperson.

According to Kemosi, Interior CS Fred Matiang’i should be named the Gusii community’s spokesperson.
