Leaders from western region have attended in full swing the burial of the late Deputy Mayor Mr Timothy Karandini Wekesa who was a civic leader in the Webuye zone.
Many of them joined the mourners to remember the life of the late.
As usual they could not miss to use the burial as an arena to express their political affiliations and way forward.
The Kanduyi legislator, Alfred Khangati assured residents to look into the issue of the H-Young company that is constructing the Eldoret – Malaba Highway to employ residents of Webuye and its outskirts.
Khang’ati complained of the high prices of sugar being experienced in the country, adding that it’s time for the price of cane to also go up so that the cane farmers can benefit with high profits from the sale of cane to the sugar factory. He disclosed that a meeting is going to be convened with the cane farmers and other stakeholders in the sugar industry to discuss on the sugar price issue.
Wakoli Bufwoli the Bumula legislator, warned the citizens that death should be taken as a lesson that everyone will die, he added to say that the issue of insecurity in Webuye are mainly being brought about by the closure of the Pan Paper mills which was the main source of livelihood for the people of Webuye.
He cautioned the integrity of the people being given the mandate to re-open the Pan Paper mills and said that the government should investigate on them because the money set aside for its revival is being spent but nothing is seen of it.
Wakoli challenged the citizens to work together because those as leaders who have different political opinions and in different parties are in unity.
"It’s a challenge to you people to work together because as the leaders still work together despite our political differences."
The Member of Parliament of Sirisia Moses Wetangula, called upon the police force to weed out crime in the region,
"We want every resident in Webuye to live in peace and not in worry."
He also urged the residents that during this harvesting season, they should not sell their maize at a cheaper price because they will urge the government to open up the cereals board and give them a chance to sell at a price they will profit.
Subsequently, Mukhisa Kituyi former Kimilili legislator reiterated Noah Wekesa’s sentiments on the re-opening of the Paper Mills and the cost to be incurred.
Present at the funeral were the Eugene Wamalwa (Saboti), Soita Shitanda (Malava) , Alfred Sambu (Webuye), Khanga’ti ( Kanduyi), Moses Wetangula (Sirisia), Noah Wekesa (Kwanza) ,Wakoli Bifwoli (Bumula) , William Ruto (Eldoret North and former Kimilili legislator Dr. Mukhisa Kitui and they all had a chance to express their political affiliations.
