Kenya: Sifuna Reveals How Wetang'ula 'Opened His File' and Recalled Every Insult

Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna brought laughter during the funeral service of his friend Senator Boni Khalwale's wife, Gloria Khalwale. He recounted an incident involving National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula, who allegedly provided Sifuna with a comprehensive list of insults he had ever directed at the Speaker. Sifuna described Wetangula as a man who holds grudges and remembers every political attack with precision, including the dates and locations.

The incident occurred after the 2022 General Election when Sifuna went to congratulate Wetangula on his election as Speaker. Sifuna initially hesitated to approach Wetangula alone due to their past political differences and requested Khalwale to accompany him. Upon their meeting, Wetangula questioned Sifuna's purpose in his office and then proceeded to recite their political history, listing each insult and the specific circumstances surrounding it.

Sifuna found the situation so uncomfortable that he questioned his presence at the event. However, Khalwale's presence may have prevented the meeting from escalating further.
