Thursday, October 31, 2024 – Homa Bay Town MP Peter Kaluma has assured President William Ruto not to worry about his 2027 re-election, asserting that the entire Luo community stands firmly behind him.
During a church service at Our
Lady of Fatima Catholic Church, Kaluma expressed gratitude for Ruto’s backing
of Raila’s bid for the African Union Commission chairmanship
Kaluma likened Ruto’s
political relationship with Raila to that of a supportive family, pointing out
Ruto’s past assistance to Raila in difficult times
The MP announced plans for a
meeting in Homa Bay where Raila would formally transfer his political base to
Ruto before heading to Addis Ababa.
“Let me express my heartfelt
gratitude for the support you are providing to our party leader in his bid to
become the African Union Commission (AUC) Chair.
“Within the ODM fraternity,
which you know, and within our people who you know very well, we often say that
when your father is naked, and someone covers him with clothes, that person
becomes your father.
“If your father is crawling and he offers your father a
walking stick, aren’t they a friend of your father?” Kaluma posed.
“Before he goes to Addis
Ababa because we’ve never known you to fail in anything; do you believe the
president can fail to take Baba to Addis Ababa?
“Before he goes you’ll come to
Homa Bay and he’ll hand us over as his children to you,” Kaluma added.
