Why Caleb Amisi is Calling Out Farouk Kibet Over Western Kenya Harambees

 

Saboti MP Caleb Amisi has launched a bold critique against Farouk Kibet, accusing him of hijacking political functions and overshadowing elected leaders in the Western region.

Farouk Kibet Under Fire for Frequent Appearances

Speaking on Sunday, May 25, Amisi expressed concern over Kibet’s frequent presence at harambees across the Western Region, despite holding no formal public office. He claimed that Kibet’s central role in local events was sidelining prominent leaders like Musalia Mudavadi, Moses Wetang’ula, and Wycliffe Oparanya.

“A private PA without a public portfolio is the chief guest at all Western Region harambees,” Amisi said.

Elected Leaders Reduced to Spectators?

Amisi decried what he called a shameful erosion of leadership in the region. He alleged that some senators and governors had been reduced to mere spectators while Kibet assumed center stage, allegedly due to his access to large sums of money.

“Senators and Governors have been reduced to escorts and MPs, eyewitnesses, ostensibly because the PA carries more money, stolen or otherwise,” he remarked.

Warning Ahead of 2027 Elections

The legislator warned that although residents may appear to benefit from handouts, they would eventually make their voices heard at the ballot in 2027.

“Western is going to chew the money mercilessly, but when the time to vote comes, only black smoke will be seen billowing towards Sugoi,” he warned.

Push for Revolutionary Ideas in 2027 Race

Just a week earlier, Amisi urged presidential hopefuls to shift from slogans to presenting transformative ideas. He said Kenyans were growing impatient with the current regime and would be keen to elect candidates with solid, actionable policies.

“As Kenyans chant ‘Ruto Must Go’, 2027 presidential aspirants must demonstrate the revolutionary ideas they possess to lift the nation,” he emphasized.
