"I'm filled with happiness following Matiang'i's promotion. As the people of Nyamira were are congratulating him and assure him that we are behind him in every step he is making," he said.
He challenged Gusii leaders to remain united and take advantage of Matiang'i's new roles in government to develop their respective areas.
"MPs and MCAs should take advantage of Matiang'i's promotion to champion for development in their respective areas. Retrogressive politics and jealous won't take elected leaders anywhere only they will lose their seats in 2022," said Teya.
The speaker dismissed claims that he is colluding with a section of MCAs in the county to derail development.
"The allegations being peddled by selfish individuals that I am colluding with MCAs to mismanage the county are untrue. As a speaker I am doing my work as stipulated in the constitution. Those spreading propaganda are seeking political mileage," he added.
