Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya has refuted claims circulating on social media that he was expelled from the home of the late Malava MP, Malulu Injendi. These allegations suggested that Natembeya was assaulted and removed for purportedly inciting the public against the Kenya Kwanza government and national leaders.
Addressing the press on Monday, March 3, Natembeya dismissed these reports as falsehoods propagated by his opponents. He clarified that during his visit to Injendi’s home on Sunday, March 2, there was no chaos or disorder. He acknowledged that approximately five women in reflector jackets chanted President William Ruto’s name during his address but perceived this as a positive gesture, interpreting it as placing him on the same level as the president.
Natembeya expressed confidence in his political trajectory, asserting that he could not face hostility in any part of the Western region. He called on the government to investigate the incident, take corrective measures, and provide a report on the matter.
This incident is not isolated, as Natembeya has previously been involved in political controversies. In December 2024, he delivered a fiery speech during the burial of National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula’s mother in Kibuchai, Bungoma County, accusing Luhya leaders, including Musalia Mudavadi and Wetang’ula, of failing to advance the region’s development and political agenda.
The governor also advised President Ruto, who was in attendance, that some of his advisors might be misleading him on economic and security matters.
These events highlight the ongoing political dynamics and tensions within the Western region, reflecting the complex relationships among its leaders and their constituencies.
