Investors in the Gusii region have appealed to Kenya Kwanza leaders and the opposition from the Gusii region to forget their political differences, unite, and work together to improve the lives of residents.
Richard Kwang’a, an investor, on November 5, 2025, noted that differences in political affiliations were healthy for a progressive multiparty democracy and that leaders should focus on serving residents as per the pledges they made during the last General Election.

Speaking on behalf of the investors, he noted the aspiration by former Interior Cabinet Secretary Dr Fred Matiang’i for the presidency was dividing Gusii leaders, terming it wrong and unnecessary.
“We are having several leaders from various regions vying for the presidency, and it should not affect the initiation and implementation of development projects by leaders in opposition and government in their respective electoral areas.
He noted that leaders in the government will make decisions whether to remain in the government or join the opposition once parliament is dissolved, noting that differences in political inclinations should not create enmity among leaders and derail development.
The investor challenged leaders from the Gusii region in the government to remain in it till 2027 and urged opposition leaders to unite and field one presidential candidate to face rivals.
“I appeal to Gusii leaders not to succumb to pressure and leave the government prematurely. They have to work with the government to ensure ongoing development projects are completed to benefit residents and new ones initiated,” Kwang’a said.

The investor noted that Matiang’i’s entry into the presidential race was timely and challenged Kenyans to register to vote and elect a president who will hasten the country’s economic development and improve the lives of poor citizens.
He appealed to political leaders to stop comparing the country with Asian tigers like Singapore and Malaysia and instead benchmark them and put policies, laws, and strategies in place to push the country from the third world to the second.
“Kenyans know that we were at par with Singapore during independence. Singaporean leaders sacrificed and developed their country. We can also do it if we fight graft and improve roads, agriculture, education, and health,” Kwang’a pointed out.
He implored Kenyans to elect leaders in the next General Election based on their development record and not political parties or clans and take them to task to ensure they fulfil the pledges they make during political campaigns.
