Some Western leaders have rubbished a meeting by elected leaders from the region in Kajiado county on Friday, terming it as divisive. They said the meeting portrayed the Luhya community as a grouping that could not speak in one voice. The meeting at Cotu boss Francis Atwoli's residence declared Devolution Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa, Kakamega Governor Wycliffe Oparanya and Atwoli as the Luhya spokesmen. ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi whom Atwoli installed as the Luhya spokesman in December 2016 and his Ford Kenya counterpart Moses Wetang'ula did not attend the meeting. "The meeting was so much about Luhya disunity than unity to serve the interests of Raila's 2022 bid while undermining any effort for a Luhya presidency," he said.
