MULEMBE REGION RALLIES BEHIND RUTO'S SECOND-TERM BID AS WETANG'ULA CALLS FOR POLITICAL UNITY

By Ahmed Salat Ali | Political Affairs Editor, AARAN TV KE 

The Mulembe region has resolved to throw its full political weight behind President William Ruto's re-election bid, citing the government's development record, including major infrastructure projects, expanded healthcare services, support for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and sustained economic growth.

Speaking during an empowerment programme in Sabatia Sub-county, National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula said the region's decision was informed by the tangible development projects undertaken by the Kenya Kwanza administration. 

He pointed to the construction of sports stadiums, the expansion of the road network, improved access to quality healthcare, and initiatives aimed at strengthening small businesses.

"After the overwhelming reception we received at Silverline in Eldoret, I joined the people of Sabatia for an empowerment programme targeting women, youth, and persons with disabilities. These initiatives are designed to grow businesses, create opportunities, and ensure that no one is left behind as we build our nation together," Wetang'ula said.

The Speaker urged Western Kenya residents to firmly support President Ruto's quest for a second term, arguing that working closely with the national government provides the region with a stronger voice in decision-making and accelerates development.

"We must remain united. If Western Kenya is to produce a president in the future, unity will be our greatest political asset. Aligning with the government strengthens our influence and positions the region to benefit from national development programmes," he stated.

Wetang'ula also challenged residents to actively participate in voter registration and future elections, stressing that population numbers alone cannot guarantee political influence.

"Our population is an advantage but numbers alone are not enough. Unless our people register as voters and turn out to vote, we cannot convert that numerical strength into political power or meaningful development," he said.

The Speaker reaffirmed that the empowerment programmes being rolled out across the country are intended to uplift vulnerable groups, stimulate entrepreneurship and broaden economic opportunities as part of the government's inclusive development agenda.

Basir Security Centre Row Sparks Debate as Eldas MP Defends Project

By Ahmed Salat Ali | Political Affairs | AARAN TV KE  Aden Keynan has broken his silence on the controversial Basir Multi-Agency Centre, strongly defending the project as a critical national security intervention and warning leaders against politicizing matters touching on public safety and regional stability. In a strongly worded statement, the Eldas legislator said he had deliberately refrained from commenting on the matter for a long period out of respect for the sensitivity of Kenya’s security architecture. However, he noted that growing misinformation and inflammatory narratives surrounding the proposed facility had compelled him to clarify the facts. “Security remains a sacred constitutional mandate of the National Government, entrusted with safeguarding lives, protecting borders and preserving the stability of our Republic,” Keynan stated. The MP described the Ethiopia–Moyale–Basir–Arbajan–Isiolo corridor as one of the major transit routes for transnational organized crime, ...
