political

analyst I am also accompanied by bishop titus hamala, who is a member of parliament for the lurambi constituency. Thank you for your time and through zoom or wave audio, we will actually hear from him martínez or we know who is then member of parliament martin spectator, as he just joined us, perhaps his quick reaction to the talk we have Seen now in terms of politicians accusing the president of rewarding his handshake partner, Rylo Dinger, and his backyard with projects and all of this centered around tokenism. Is that how you see it? Well, it looks like we don't have it.

We will definitely try to reconnect that connection, but as I mentioned, Bishop Hamala is in the studio and I mean the Western Kenyan

leaders

are the ones complaining in sport. you subscribe to your school of thought, I think I am one of those who have complained and I have a lot of respect for his excellency, the president, a lot of respect for the

form

er prime minister, a great man who has worked for this country, nothing. personal but we have been loyal to Raila a

form

er prime minister we in the West have religiously voted for him and followed him our leader salim davady and his brother moses with angular have sacrificed and put aside their ambitions to support the former prime minister and his guests to be president of the republic of Kenya and there is that feeling, you know, when a child when a child says baba, I need a loaf of bread that is not divisive, that child is not becoming a renegade rebel, that child is hungry. , you know, we, we.

More Interesting Facts About,

I appreciate the projects going to Kisumu and it has been a revelation for us in the West to fight for our space and for our

leaders

to strive and fight for their space and the Western sentiment will be neglected because Mumia Suga is the greatest. burden for us that is where we keep our economy we are sugarcane farmers I as a person own dirt trucks and grow sugarcane okay and I have been doing it in zoja panpaper even now there is a raging debate of some businessman by the name of devki, who was supposed to put up 5 billion in mumias, let me be honest, it is the government that has gotten us into those discussions because what mumia suga needs is a bailout from the government, not some of conversation from someone who comes. because we have seen kenya airways rescued, okay, and that is why we are crying because in the west we have roads like a highway called c41 that connects lurami uh with navajo and bongoma.

This road since 2016 since it was launched has never been completed okay no project in Western is told no that we have had the right to have a Honda PM talk about the bahungu stadium which is the work of Governor Paranya . If Governor Parang had never built the stadium, it would never be there, so we don't have any flagship project and We are not afraid to speak out because we are speaking on behalf of our people, if we have to pay a price for saying that we are ready for that price, but the truth is that if Mumia Suga was given a ransom we wouldn't complain because people like Devki.

They are private entrepreneurs they don't even have what we need in mumias in mumias we need the government to cancel the debts kcp is owned by the government and kcb is the one that is giving us problems why don't you just say the government you know what we cancel that debt kplc we cancel that debt kra we cancel that debt if they are serious then we will not talk about devki and politicians fighting over this human being who is not even enough to put the mummies where they are supposed to mumia's sugar answers are not in devaki mumia suga answers are with the government of his excellency president uhuru kenyatta and that is why when we see him in a region and we see the man we died for, we see the man our children were named bullets in the Kakamega riots, the buildings prohibited fighting for him and we don't see any flagship projects, we won't stay silent, but politicians have also been on the receiving end, let's talk about this issue of Miller and the key development company trying The politicians who took charge were on the receiving end, of course, we saw a couple of demonstrations over the weekend in terms of those who are trying to prevent this from happening, maybe your reservations, um, since you seem to express them, you know, let me tell you. something I am a hurricane farmer, not just an elected empire, a bishop, but I am a farmer and I have been farming since the 90s.
We are desperate because we have western Kenya and brutally sugar and these are private entities, they are not the sufficient enough. take all our sugar cane and that's why we have a lot of sugar cane ready for harvest, but they are rotting on the farms because, again, maybe a company like Western Kenya has grown their sugar cane elsewhere and the brings and it is yours and it is your business. They have the right to do it right, yes, so we are looking at mumias as the only solution, and when you listen to people like devki, people are desperate and they say that anyone except the devil, yes, but anyone who can come in and give back to the mummies life we ​​will do it but again when you look at my party leader he is an excellent devout muslim when he talked about it many people did not understand what amc party leader said he is not against an investor coming into Mumias, it is not right and there is no leader in the West, not even Senator Malala, he is not against the investor entering, but they were talking about openness, they want transparency because Mumias owns large tracts of land.
This guy is coming for how long? Well, how long will it be there? Okay, how much are you contributing? But I repeat: we don't need Devki. We need the Kenyan government. The Kenyan government has what it takes in 24 hours and Mumia's sugar will come back to life. Okay, that's interesting, stay with you and allow. I would like to ask you because you have mentioned Musa Modavi a couple of times and right now fingers are

point

ing at Raila Odinga, however, the Western Region recently ap

point

ed Musalia as spokesperson for the region, why shouldn't you use him to put pressure on some of these issues and I mean it's common knowledge that masala modavidi could have a near year with the president, that's a very good question and I think that's what everyone wants to hear.
You know, a devout Muslim has been in the shadow of Raila Molodinga because he was a director of NASA and Raila Molodinga was the leader of NASA until the handshake came and we appreciated the handshake for peace, okay, We're not criticizing it, that's fine, but what we're just saying is this is what I can say and I'm not speaking for AMC, this is my own opinion. I think we've gotten to a point where we can say, "Okay, this is how it's done." Okay, if this is the way it's done, we'll be smarter in 2022 and maybe. we put all our votes in a basket and give them to one of us and then one of us can be the president or if he is not the president then he knows what he will do with the votes.
I think that's where we're good, interesting Martin. so we know, let me bring him into the conversation, if you can hear me, Raila Dengar, the hanshik partner, or rather let me refer to him as the co-director of NASA, who is on the receiving end of his partners, how do you respond to those voices um what he? he has neglected the region that pushed him to the position he is in now thank you Rogers we had a technical problem here but now I can hear you I hope you can hear me too so it's interesting but you know.
Always have these African sales, you know, when you are a caliber leader you are like a big tree, the birds will rest on your neck and the animals underneath, so it's at that point, so when people are suffering, they will say. what they mean, but we have to see things in a more contextual way, for example, when we talk about national projects, let's be nationalistic, let people stop zoning for the western region, the coastal region, now Raila has defended everything This in fact, I was surprised when I had cevula malala complaining without even looking at what had happened before in that region, even the context of the sugar industry.
A governor from Paraná was the co-president of that sugar reform and I can, I can, I can remember July. 1 they were loyal leaders all their governors were with the president trying to fix all this and I know for a fact that the sugar industry is going to be transformed because I am on the agriculture

committee

and we are working on a new bill that does that to blame to Raila, that's fine, the children can blame you, that's fine, but let us as leaders, let us put things in perspective national projects and national projects like ports, if you find a national lawyer working there, there are so many who don't It's for Lewis if you go to the railway line, the same thing, even the sugar we are talking about, don't you find only Western people working?
Yes no it's across the board so my point for all leaders to stop zoning Kenyans let's open up and talk nationally about what we can gain as Kenyans and my point number two and that's why that I am suffering in my local village here due to unbalanced development, rural people and urban people, all these infrastructures are at different levels, which should not be the case, let's talk about how we can scale up and equitably distribute the national level. cake so even if I am in a rural setting I can still enjoy electricity mine has been turned off it turns on and off so bishop my shout out to all Kenyans and leaders the moment we enter the zoning of our people, the battle is lost as a national one, uh. representation in the assembly that represents everyone, yes, well, well noted, martin, uh, uh, definitely let me include uh kagoni in the picture, but do you now believe in terms of dividing the national pie this equity in development and what you say of those who might think this is a development focused on tokenism, you supported me,

political

loyalty, you deserve this, thank you jesse, let me say this and possibly also repeat myself that, um, and on your own to challenge the bishop respectively and also to the leaders of the west. legion that possibly before the launch of the project in Kisumu we had not had this conversation, we had not agitated them and saying where is our part, so to speak, so it also seems that the launch was actually the trigger, now yes, that is bringing this agitation but uh that aside uh I said let's not really confuse uh the publicity that has been generated by the launch of the projects in kisumu and the nyanza region and we forget what other projects are really happening because if you check it and I challenge that just you see to check even on various government websites, you check on kura, you check even the assistants who have actually been sent to do something in the western region, you realize that there are many things, in fact, I was very surprised to realize that. uh the western legion is one of the places where the penetration of electricity has really increased a lot, I mean the percentages are working very well and uh we should congratulate Muhammad, his colleagues in that legion, maybe for doing something as well that we do not want to assume.
That just happened on its own, yes, but having said that, you know, there is the publicity that the president himself has brought to launch the project and I was saying here aria that Jesse, someone might think that there is nothing that is happening in Machaco or in the company area because the president has not gone to that legion to launch any project. Someone might think that there are no projects happening in the north of North Africa, in the northern part of Kenya, because The president has not gone in that direction to launch the project either, but the truth of the matter is that if you approach the crowd you will see miles of asphalt being built, you will see schools being developed.
I will see that there are televisions everywhere and I want to challenge the colleagues of that legion, the members of that region, is there an electorate that is not prohibited? Events that are actually happening, maybe what they would really talk about is that. Well there has been no visibility on postgraduate projects for example the sugarcane industry, maybe something needs to be done but it is also good to appreciate that we have also previously seen the government pumping in billions and billions of shillings to a company like mumias despite that it has not been able to renew itself and get back to processing and profits and all that, but we have seen a lot of money that has been invested in mumia sugar before, maybe it is time to check it really.
What is exactly the problem? Because a lot of money has gone in that direction. We have seen some efforts regarding the paper mill there and we are now aware that there is a good refinery company in the industry that the government really wants to establish. in that legion, but the other thing is from a political angle, this is what I would also like to challenge his excellency musari modavadi, a man whom I respect a lot, you know, when Raider joined the difficulties and then finally,Karanza. museoka was actually saying that mimi nataka could come from kona guru kenyatta mussariamudawadi said I'm not in the government I want to play the opposition role I want to leave it's registered actually you can play now you can't huh On the one hand you don't want to play the role opposition and on the other hand you also want to enjoy the benefits as if you were in government, perhaps from a very political angle and perhaps that is something that ANC members can try. to examine whether they are benefiting from playing the opposition role or whether it would be better for them to accept and be part of the difficulties completely because I remember him saying I want to be that voice of reason, I want to get out, which is fine, fine, but perhaps He has a bigger role to play in terms of championing the projects.
In fact, I foresee Jesse and I want to tell you this for sure. I foresee that if the members of the Western Legion continue the conversation soon, very soon it will go off track and people will let go and see that maybe the attack should not be from the right because the assailant is actually trying to do it. he has made his offer from one of the regions where he feels that this is where the priority should have been okay, maybe it is going to change and the conversation talks about the attack on musa modabadi and what his role and his proximity to power really is And exactly what has it really done to the region?
The conversation could lean in that direction. It is important to make it clear to the members there as well. Okay, Bishop, let me take a minute and respond to this number one. Let me respond to Jamie when he talks about a Mr. project, there are many projects out west and he has knowledge of what is there based on what he sees on the website. I speak as a man who lives there and who wakes up from there. Most of our projects have stalled and that's where we are. roads that were launched now when you look at the road from lorambi through navajo to bengama the road coming from ibokolo to shianda to malaha the road coming from bengama to boyofu to mungati i can name even those that were supposed to be launched from kakamega until capsabit all these paths nothing happens like korra when you go to the website and see a path you have to talk since you are present on the ground the path from joyland in kakamega to rosterman that even the man was handed over to korra nothing has happened when You are talking about electricity I am a member of parliament for Lorandi I know how many letters I have written to the rural electrification authority uh Rurik okay and the transformers have not arrived and not even the transformers that have come, you know, it is very painful to hear these things that I see on the website and I am there, most of the transformers that were installed simply do not work, they brought us very old transformers, I think Kplc or someone is playing us and we have places in my constituency where transformers were installed in 2018 to put us into debt, the meters never arrived, we have asked questions in parliament, I have faced a cs qatar for the same, those things have not happened now in the The issue of mummies, the yoga mummy like suga is key because the burden of life It is the largest economy and when you hear that billions have been invested in it, it is not right because since President Uhuru Kenyatta came to power and I thank him how much money has he put Mumia's sugar to bail him out one one one billion in one moment maybe another 500 million another time and maybe this thing requires 10 billion to come back to life and number one even before you put a billion yes billions yes You're honest, why don't you write about the debts due to this problem?
And I think you saw over the weekend the fights, the blame games, played out like Senator Malala, his Excellency, was being blamed, and these leaders were just asking what the plan is. a long-term plan or it will end as we have seen in the newspaper, they were not against the investor coming in and we do not need the investor, we need the government now, the Muslia issue is developing as an opposition leader, we, We came to parliament, uh, at NASA and our leader was a former prime minister, Bajo Baraila Molodinga Mussolium's right, David Colombioka with Angular, they were co-chairs of the NASA coalition now, when the Prime Minister shook hands The handshake with the president is fine and we are not, I don't fight against the handshake, I don't, but we are main as a matter of principle, we were in the opposition, we were not in the government, in parliament, we have you. are you on the majority side or are you on the minority side, you can't be the boss so Salia can't be blamed for not jumping into the handshake, yes bishop let me ask you, this blame game definitely It will not solve the problems that afflict the West.
Kenya just briefly in a minute because politics and economic development go hand in hand and each region has its economic interests in terms of the West and its economic interests. What do you think is a solution if we remove the politician briefly? I would like to say this that we are sugarcane farmers, we still have the land, even if the land has reduced due to population now, but we still have the land to grow sugarcane because I am a farmer and I still grow sugarcane, the only problem I find is I can't get a permit to take my cane to Western Kenya because Western Kenya is a private entity and does not have the capacity to meet the farmers' demands.
Well, for us to have a solution it is not devaki and I want to be very categorical here that the enemies of the ANC leader are trying to use this scenario to fight the ANC leader. I am misunderstanding what the NC leader said. He is interpreting what Angular said and what Malala said. I'm going to defend him, okay, we want a long-lasting war. A solution and a lasting solution cannot come from a 5 billion businessman because what are the responsibilities of the mummies? Okay, yes, I welcome the businessman. I'm not against it and I wish anyone could put the mummies back to work, but from my point of view.
Is the Kenyan government doing well? That can give us lasting time. Okay, Martin, so we know I'd like to hear your thoughts on this as we wrap up. It seems like we have a problem connecting with it so Kagoni, I will give you the last shot because of that problem because it is not just a Western Region problem, we have seen the Rift Valley come out and also agitate for the priority of their developments in central Kenya, as well as briefly, how do we know how to get past this? Yes, in fact, I would like to Just give a little advice to the leaders there now that there is an awakening and an understanding that they possibly feel like they have left us behind if that is really the reality.
I would ask you to make a plan and now. They will be able to agitate this properly, all together, no one will be left behind if it comes to the sugar issue, but the sugarcane cultivation, uh, the infrastructure projects that are there and others, they would feel that they are actually the flagship projects that really they want. Continue so that again it's not one voice from that corner, the other voice from the other corner. I really want to add to the readers of the Western Legion that it also seems that agitation should not be reduced to complaints when in reality asking to touch buildings and things that need to be done, the truth of the matter is and I will be corrected on this one, the truth of the matter is I'm aware that some things have been done in terms of graduate projects, maybe we can talk about that and see exactly whether we've seen a lot of graduate projects taking shape in that area, but in terms of these other things, I know um muashimov is saying that there are a lot of road projects that have actually been stored, maybe that's why they didn't need to have a meeting with the minister with the cs and sit down and explain and just deal to understand exactly what the problem is and possibly not do it. just because it's pretty tidy, let me tell you how this government works now especially after devolution and parity winning pesos when you commit to just one member of parliament as if he's the one who's going to follow the path to everything and go to be quite difficult and sometimes you sympathize and empathize with the mps because really following up on the transformer themes, the white road themes that they have stored and all that when you are alone it is quite difficult yes yes definitely like that but possibly if they can come together they have a kitchen
