URGENT RELEASE

In a remarkable moment of political evolution, Kenya has witnessed the historic merger between two of its most prominent political figures, President William Ruto & Prime Minister Raila Odinga. This alliance marks a significant step towards uniting the nation and fostering a spirit of collaboration for the greater good of all Kenyans.

Both Raila Odinga and William Ruto have, over the years, demonstrated unwavering commitment to the progress and prosperity of Kenya. By coming together, Raila and Ruto are not only setting aside past differences, but they are also embracing the potential of working collectively to tackle the pressing issues facing our nation under the Broad-Based Government.

In line with the findings of the NADCO Report, which I had the honor of being a summit member of when Rigathi Gachagua was calling on the people of Mt. Kenya to reject and not participate in proposal presentation, this merger represents a critical opportunity for unity and growth. The report highlighted the importance of inclusive leadership, economic cohesion, and political collaboration across all regions of Kenya. It is now imperative that all regions, including the Mt. Kenya region, stand behind this historic partnership.

Mt. Kenya has always been at the heart of Kenya’s political landscape, and the region’s support for this merger will be instrumental in shaping the country’s future. I call on the people and leadership of Mt. Kenya to support this strategic alliance. It is an opportunity to transcend past divisions and join hands in creating a prosperous Kenya that works for everyone, ensuring that the region continues to play a vital role in the nation’s growth.

I offer my heartfelt congratulations to both President William Ruto & Prime Minister Raila Odinga. Your leadership and willingness to come together for the benefit of Kenya is a testament to the strength of vision, character, and patriotism. May this partnership pave the way for a prosperous and harmonious Kenya.

H.E Mwangi Wa Iria,
USAWA PARTY LEADER.

It is courtesy of the hard-work, commitment, patriotism & resilience of Kenyan workers, who sacrifice their all even during times of adversity & turbulence like we are in now, that our motherland continues to be on the move. A salute for all our workers. Happy .

Our Party Leader H.E. Mwangi Wa Iria has this afternoon joined fellow Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Coalition Party leaders led by Raila Odinga for a Parliamentary Group meeting at the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Foundation offices. Also present were Azimio principals Kalonzo Musyoka, Eugene L Wamalwa and Prof Wajackoyah.

Top of the agenda was the unmitigated high cost of living. The leaders also unanimously agreed to constitute a Parliamentary Taskforce to investigate the tragic death of the Chief of Defence Forces, the late General Francis Omondi Ogolla.

It is with shock and disbelief that I have received the tragic news of the demise of the Chief of Defence Forces General Francis Ogolla and nine other senior Kenya Defence Forces officers following a helicopter crash in Sindar, West Pokot earlier today.

Since he was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant on 6th May, 1985, General Ogolla has built an illustrious 40~year career as a soldier, characterized by exceptional leadership, tactical expertise, and professional achievements.

His dedication to continuous learning and professional development has been a hallmark of his distinguished service, earning him numerous accolades and honours.

My heartfelt condolences, those of my family and the entire Usawa Party go out to Gen Ogolla’s family, the families of the other nine officers and the larger KDF fraternity. May God grant you peace that surpasses all human understanding during this difficult time of mourning.

It is indeed a very sad day for our country but as they say, Generals never die; they only fade away.

May the souls of those patriots Rest Well.
