SPEECH BY HON.PETER SALASYA MUMIAS EAST LEGISLATURE.
SPEECH BY HON. PETER KALERWA SALASYA, MP MUMIAS EAST
My fellow Kenyans,
My people of Western Kenya—Mulembe Nation,
Let me speak plainly today.
We, the Luhya community, have stood with Rt. Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga through thick and thin. We have voted for him loyally in every election, even when others doubted. We have filled his rallies, defended his vision, and given him numbers. In fact, ODM today has more Luhya MPs than Luo MPs.
But when it comes to the table of national dialogue, appointments, and real decision-making—it is the Luo community that benefits most. We are seen during campaigns, but forgotten during governance. That is the painful truth.
Enough is enough.
Western Kenya is tired of being a voting machine. We cannot continue supporting a system that does not recognize our contribution. If things do not change, let it be known today: 2027 will mark a political divorce between the Luhya community and ODM.
Bungoma has already moved on. Trans Nzoia is shifting. Kakamega, Busia, Vihiga, and even Nairobi’s Luhya constituencies are reading the signs. We are not waiting to be invited—we are charting our own course.
I respect Raila Odinga for his struggle and legacy. But respect is not submission. Loyalty must be mutual—not one-sided.
That is why, beginning 11th of this month, as we embark on our Western tour, we must boldly and unapologetically tell our people that the political divorce has begun and is hereby announced. We shall not go into 2027 blindly. We are awake. We are ready.
As young leaders, we are now taking charge. The future of this region will not be decided in Nairobi hotels. It will be decided by the voices of the people in Mumias, Bungoma, Kitale, and Busia. The Mulembe Nation is wide awake.
We will not beg for recognition. We will demand it. And if we don’t get it, we will walk away.
I, Hon. Peter Kalerwa Salasya, stand here not just as a Member of Parliament—but as a messenger of change. We are building a new political home that respects us, values us, and works with us.
Mulembe Nation, rise. Our time is now.
Asanteni sana. Mungu abariki Western Kenya.
