National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula rallied over 8,000 young people from all nine constituencies of Bungoma County at his rural home on June 7, 2026, setting the stage for a massive grassroots mobilization drive ahead of the 2027 General Election.
The landmark consultative forum transformed Speaker Wetang’ula’s residence into a bustling hub of civic dialogue.
Addressing the delegation, Wetang’ula emphasized that securing a national identity card is a critical tool for economic empowerment and democratic expression.
He aggressively urged the youth to take advantage of the Kenya Kwanza administration’s fee waiver for first-time ID applications and replacements to ensure total participation in the upcoming polls.
Bungoma Senator and majority chief whip CBS David Wafula Wakoli, alongside local Members of Parliament and MCAs heavily amplified the Speaker’s development agenda.
Senator Wakoli urged the youth to reject divisive politics, ethnic polarization and the manipulation that often leads to political violence.
The present MPs echoed these remarks, advising younger leaders to focus heavily on long-term unity strategies rather than engaging in premature, disruptive political posturing.
