Moses Wetang’ula, the speaker of the National has urged peace and unity among the youth and the country’s leadership, reminding Kenyans that the future of the nation belongs to everyone.
Speaking on Monday during the burial of the late Mzee Isaac Ngugi Ichung’wah, father of National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah, the Speaker described the late Mzee as a man of encyclopedic knowledge, wisdom, and experience.
Wetang’ula, who joined other UDA leaders in Kikuyu, Kiambu County, also called on young people—popularly referred to as Gen Z—to embrace respect and patriotism.
“Tunataka kuona Kenya yenye wale wenye umri wa kadri, wenye umri wa makamu na watoto tukijua ya kwamba kila mtu ana nafasi yake. Kila mtu ana jukumu lake na jukumu letu ni kuleta nchi pamoja,” he said.
On Ichung’wah, the Speaker praised him as a leader who accommodates everyone without compromising on what is right. He lauded his ability to listen, stay true to his word, and stand firm on principles.
Wetang’ula further remembered the late Mzee Ngugi as a patriotic man whose wisdom and service to the community touched many lives.
He urged leaders to emulate his example of inclusivity and love for the country.
