KANU MP’s sparks debate after viral message to Gideon Moi

MP Naisula Lesuuda has sparked debate after sharing a public message addressed to her party chairman, Gideon Moi, following his meeting with President William Ruto.
Samburu West MP Naisula Lesuuda has sparked debate after sharing a public message addressed to her party chairman, Gideon Moi, following his meeting with President William Ruto.
In a statement on Thursday, October 9, Lesuuda said she had previously avoided addressing Moi in public but felt compelled to speak up due to the gravity of the matter.
“My dear Chairman Hon. Gideon Moi, we have had many conversations in private, and I have never addressed you in public, but the matter being discussed is of national importance,” she said.
Lesuuda noted that Moi’s decision to run in the Baringo Senatorial by-election or not, and to join forces with Ruto, ultimately rests with him.
“The choice to run or not to run for the Baringo Senatorial seat is purely your personal decision since you must have done an introspection of whether to or not, despite the many voices you have listened to. Who you also choose to work with in the national politics moving forward is purely your personal decision,” she added.

However, Lesuuda expressed disappointment at what she described as Moi’s silence and lack of communication with the party.
She urged Moi to address his supporters directly, show empathy, and provide clear guidance on the way forward for KANU.
“My only concern and that of many who have believed in you and the party is your choice not to give direction and not to communicate on time of your decisions.
“We feel not listened to, not heard, or felt. Especially the felt part, Chairman address your supporters of your decision, lead with empathy, carry us along,” she further said.
