The populous Luhya community now has an official spokesman. Wycliffe Musalia Mudavadi emerged the most popular leader of the ‘Mulembe Nation’ and was installed at Bukhungu Stadium in Kakamega over the New Year weekend.
The significance of this initiative, which was conceived of and nurtured by Cotu Secretary General Francis Atwoli, is that Mr Mudavadi will be the man to negotiate political deals with other communities and political parties for the benefit of the community.
