Chairman of the Democratic Action Party Kenya (DAP-K) Eugene Wamalwa has urged National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula to avoid cheap politics.

The DAP-K leader was referencing an event in which Speaker Wetangula supporters fought with those of Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya, disrupting the burial ceremony of the late wife of former Nominated MCA Phillip Nyongesa.

According to Wetangula, indulging in 'petty partisan politics' has weakened Wetangula's position as a national leader and third-in-command.

"Let us also pray for @NAssemblyKE Speaker @HonWetangula to do the honourable thing and relinquish his Ford Kenya Party position and rise above petty partisan village politics that undermine his stature as a National Leader and the 3rd in command,and safeguard the dignity of his high office that require him to be an impartial Umpire and Arbiter," Wrote Wamalwa on Social platform X.

"To hold both the position of Speaker and Party Leader that force you to engage in such embarrassing political jete, is clearly untenable,"

Wetangula and Natembeya shared a stage for the first time during the Friday political confrontation, which required police intervention to defuse tensions.

The two leaders disagreed and openly discussed the Mulembe nation's unity and the war for the region's ruler.

Wetangula stated that there should be no holy cows in Kenya.

Natembeya was quoted as saying: "Wanafikiri kuwa kuleta vita wanadhani kuwa huu mchakato utasimama ndio mkoko umealika mauwa, ndio vita imeanza tutapambana hadi pale hii jamii yetu itakuwa liberated...ataleta vita asilete vita lakini hii ndege bado iko kwa runway."
