Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya has responded sharply to remarks attributed to former Health Cabinet Secretary Susan Nakhumicha, dismissing claims that he was plotting to embarrass her publicly.
Speaking during a public address, Natembeya criticized the allegation, terming it baseless and politically motivated. In a strongly worded rebuttal delivered in Kiswahili, the governor stated that he had no intention of humiliating Nakhumicha, adding that the only person who could “undress” her was her husband, Milimo, and not him.
The exchange highlights the escalating political tensions between the two leaders, who have recently traded barbs over governance and policy matters. Observers say such public confrontations reflect the increasingly heated political climate as leaders position themselves ahead of future political contests.
Neither side has indicated any plans for reconciliation, and the remarks have since sparked debate online, with supporters and critics weighing in on the tone and appropriateness of the language used.
The incident adds to the growing list of public spats among Kenyan leaders, underscoring how political disagreements are increasingly playing out in open forums.
