Kenyan Senator Questions Political Motive Behind Governor Natembeya's Arrest

Trans-Nzoia Governor George Natembeya's arrest and subsequent release on bail have sparked a debate in Kenya's political landscape. Senator Eddy Gicheru Oketch from Migori County offered his perspective on the matter during an interview on TV47's Morning Cafe. "I don't think the government is targeting Natembeya over Luhya kingpinship," stated Senator Oketch, adding, "If he believes he can oust Musalia and Wetang’ula, I wish him well, but it will never happen." His comments highlight the ongoing power struggles within Luhya politics and the potential for political motivations behind the Governor's arrest. The incident underscores the complexities and tensions within Kenyan politics, particularly concerning leadership and regional influence.
