Moses Wetangula Speaker Photo28129
WESTERN KENYA — Speaker of the National Assembly Moses Masika Wetang’ula has urged residents of the Western region to maintain political unity and reject external division, insisting their economic and development interests are best served by remaining close to the national government.
Addressing supporters in Western Kenya following his recent engagements, the Speaker asked the region’s voting bloc to stand firm and work directly with President William Ruto rather than siding with what he termed a united opposition.
Wetang’ula emphasized that alignment with the ruling administration remains the most viable pathway to securing flagship infrastructure projects, executive appointments, and long-term socio-economic growth for the region.
His rallying call comes in the backdrop of an intense national storm sparked by his recent public disclosures regarding the distribution of Teachers Service Commission (TSC) employment letters.

During a public gathering, Wetang’ula exposed how a section of Members of Parliament allegedly monetization job opportunities meant for their constituents.
He revealed that after accompanying legislators to State House—where President Ruto issued them around 10 TSC recruitment slots each to aid unemployed youth—some lawmakers instead opted to sell the letters for up to KSh 400,000 to desperate job seekers.
The admission ignited widespread criticism from opposition MPs, teachers’ unions, and civil society groups. Critics accused both Parliament and the Executive of bypassing constitutional hiring procedures governed by the TSC to run a political patronage system.
Unfazed by the surrounding political friction, Wetang’ula shifted focus to regional politics, urging Western Kenya not to be swayed by external political maneuvers. He maintained that political fragmentation would only weaken the region’s bargaining power on the national table, reiterating that Western Kenya stands to gain significantly more by supporting the current administration.
