Baringo Senator Gideon Moi has asked leaders not to engage in 2022 politics at the expense of development.
Speaking during the funeral of businessman Edgar Simiyu Masinde at Bilibili Secondary School, Tongareni Constituency on Saturday, Moi said there is time for everything under the sun.
The vocal senator urged leaders to prioritise their promises to the electorate, adding that development projects should be given maximum attention instead of politics.
He also urged leaders to support the handshake between President Uhuru Kenyatta and Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader Raila Odinga for the sake of economic development of the country.
“Politics can wait for now. Let us focus on working for the people with devotion because only God knows what 2022 will look like,” Gideon said.
Bungoma Governor Wycliffe Wangamati, who was also present at the event, poked holes into the Punguza Mizigo initiative, adding that Kenyans need an all inclusive government.
“Punguza Mizigo could be having some good proposals but the Bill has a lot of shortfalls. We want a government that is inclusive and one that will allow Kenyans to live in harmony,” said the governor.
