Kibwana says that he is ready to reach to all the politicians in the county for the sake of unity.
Addressing journalists on Wednesday, the Wiper Governor said that it is time for the region to unite and push its development agenda forward.
He said that the region's political plans will come true only if politicians irrespective of their political parties work together.
“I have consulted and decided to spearhead the unity and reconciliation talks among our politicians who are not seeing eye to eye,” he said as quoted by the People daily.
