Wiper Party Secretary-General Sifuna has expressed disappointment over the ongoing political tensions involving Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi and Senate Majority Leader Moses Wetangula in their feud with Governor Moses Natembeya.
Speaking to the media, Sifuna described the conflict as “very sad,” noting that the rivalry seems particularly illogical given that neither Mudavadi’s ANC nor Wetangula’s FORD-Kenya currently has aspiring candidates in the region. “It’s very sad seeing Musalia and Wetangula fighting Governor Natembeya and yet their parties don’t even have aspiring candidates,” Sifuna remarked, highlighting what he perceives as a misalignment of priorities.
Political analysts suggest that Sifuna’s comments reflect broader frustrations with political maneuvering that appears disconnected from grassroots realities. While politicians may engage in high-profile disputes, Sifuna implies that the ultimate beneficiaries—the voters—are being overlooked.
The statement serves as a cautionary reminder to political leaders to focus on substantive issues and meaningful representation, rather than engaging in conflicts that may be more performative than productive.
