Speaking during a public address to the Luhya Nation, Khalwale emphasized that meaningful development can only be achieved if the community stands together and speaks with one voice.
Khalwale accused National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula and Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi of neglecting the Luhya people after securing top government positions.
“You see how Wetang’ula and Mudavadi have forgotten the Luhya Nation after being given seats in government. I am the one who brought the President to this county and introduced him, but now he has forgotten us,” he said.
In a fiery speech, Khalwale insisted that he was not seeking personal praise but delivering a message the Luhya Nation needed to hear. “I don’t want you to love me—I am a man. But my message, you must love,” he declared.
The outspoken senator went on to endorse Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya for the presidency in 2027, claiming that his leadership would bring real transformation to Kenya.
He also expressed his own ambition to vie for the Kakamega governorship, promising sweeping changes for the county if elected.
Khalwale argued that Luhya farmers, especially sugarcane growers, have suffered for too long under poor leadership and weak agricultural policies.
He assured residents that under a Natembeya presidency and his own county leadership, farmers would finally enjoy meaningful earnings from sugarcane—unlike the “jokes” he said they continue to witness under the current government.
Khalwale’s remarks are expected to intensify political debate in the Western region as leaders begin positioning themselves early ahead of 2027.
