Former Westlands MP Fred Gumo has blamed greed, pride and selfishness among Western region leaders for lack of unity.
Speaking in Budalang’i on Saturday, Mr Gumo said leaders currently pushing for Luhya unity had divided the electorate in every election.
He challenged Amani National Congress party leader Musalia Mudavadi, Ford Kenya’s Moses Wetang’ula and Kakamega Governor Wycliffe Oparanya to decide who among them would vie for the presidency in 2022.
“They must sit down and settle on one person because for years, the problem has always been that all of them want to vie for the presidency,” said Gumo.
His sentiments comes following a unity pact that was signed binding western leaders to work together and front one presidential candidate in the coming 2022 General elections.
Ford Kenya Leader Moses Wetangula, Amani National Congress Leader Musalia Mudavadi and Cabinet Secretary for Water and Irrigation Eugene Wamalwa penned down a document, which they describe as the beginning of addressing problems facing western bloc.

Kenyans knows where luhyas fits and their place in Kenya. Luhya men and women will be kikuyu servants for ever Their men will work as Kikuyu elite cooks: Their women will work as Kikuyu Ayas ( Maids) hence both thinks with their stomachs.
Luhya are known as lovers of chebechebe left overs that falls from rich kikuyu wealthmen/women.Thanks hon Fred Gumo for your observation sir!

Now get a grip of yourself. This is a desperate attempt to spread tribal hatred based nothing.

Gumo and these other Luhya “leaders”, you have let others get into your head with this Luhya unity thing. Luhyas are united. They are united against being herded into sheds like animals. The narrative should be that they are independent and dare walk away from their brothers if dialogue is not inclusive and purpose meaningful. Unity must be for a purpose. Power is not a purpose. Power is a means that must serve a purpose. Show me the purpose that has been served by Kikuyu or Kalenjin unity? Do you think it is a purpose other communities should aspire to?
