SHAMALA IMMACULATE: Open Letter to Natembeya: Addressing misguided criticism and neglected priorities

Dear Governor Natembeya,

I trust this message finds you well. Sir, over and over again you have repeatedly expressed dissatisfaction with Musalia Mudavadi’s alleged inability to secure government positions for Luhyas. Are you not misleading the public.

You are acutely aware of the considerable power held by the Prime Cabinet Secretary and the complexities involved in effective governance. Your previous role as Regional Commissioner for Rift Valley should affirm Musalia’s significant contribution to inclusive governance in Kenya.

Nonetheless, it appears you have deliberately chosen Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia as a public target, aiming to diminish his influence within his community.

Is this strategy truly justified? Your recent comments predicting a Kikuyu presidency while dismissing the possibility of a Luhya president are troubling.

Are these tactics designed to preemptively block such prospects for personal or political advantage? The real question is: who is engaging in deceptive practices—those undermining their peers or those navigating complex political landscapes?

Your excessive fixation on Musalia is concerning. It is perplexing to see such obsession with an individual seemingly uninterested in petty conflicts. This focus detracts from addressing the pressing issues at hand.

If Musalia is underperforming, why not redirect your efforts toward pursuing the presidency yourself? Is national politics consuming your attention to the extent that you overlook the critical deficiencies in healthcare and infrastructure within Trans-Nzoia? Reports highlight alarmingly high child mortality rates and severe shortages in essential medical supplies such as power and oxygen.

Additionally, the low morale among healthcare workers and inefficiencies in revenue collection are urgent concerns. Why does Trans-Nzoia lag behind other counties in revenue generation? This undermines service delivery.

The people of Trans-Nzoia have entrusted you with the mandate to enhance revenue transparency and service delivery. These should be your priorities, rather than focusing on attacking prime cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi.

Such attacks neither improve county revenue nor address critical healthcare needs, including the inadequate conditions at Wamalwa Kijana Teaching and Referral Hospital.

Trans-Nzoia demands your commitment to performance, effective service delivery, and visionary leadership with concrete results. We do not wish to be isolated from the rest of the nation.

Constructive criticism is welcomed, provided it is honest and factual. We must avoid perpetuating fear and misinformation among the people of Trans-Nzoia. The same high standards expected from Musalia Mudavadi should apply to your own performance.

It is essential to clarify whose interests are truly being served. Your repeated actions reveal underlying motives that have fueled growing apprehension in Western Kenya.

Understanding the ultimate goal of your relentless and peculiar attacks on prime cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi is now crucial to the Mulembe nation.

As a community, we deserve clarity on the rationale behind these unwarranted attacks on the Prime Cabinet Secretary, who has earned commendation for his performance, dedication, and commitment to serving the nation from the President himself.

It is often said that those who use criticism to turn people against their leaders are not seeking truth but sowing seeds of discord for their own gain. Manipulative criticism often masks deeper insecurities and hidden agendas. When criticism is used to undermine a leader, it reveals more about the critic’s motives than the leader’s faults. Your actions speak volumes about your true intentions. We will not remain silent any longer.

Shamala Immaculate- Trans-Nzoia County.
