Speaking during a public rally on Friday, the senator emphasized that Kisii residents are taxpayers like any other Kenyans and deserve equal access to national development projects.
“The people of Kisii pay taxes like everyone else. We will not allow our region to be ignored on the SGR project or any other development initiative,” Omongeni said, sending a strong message to the government that Kisii will demand inclusion in major infrastructure plans.
In the same address, Omongeni revealed the Kisii community’s preferred candidate for the 2027 presidential election. He endorsed Fred Matiangi, declaring that Kisii people will fully support him in the next polls.
Matiangi, a prominent national leader, is among the top contenders expected to represent the United Opposition coalition.
Omongeni’s statement signals a dual message: a demand for fair development and a clear political stance ahead of 2027.
By openly supporting Matiangi, he is consolidating Kisii’s influence as a key voting bloc, demonstrating the community’s readiness to play an active role in shaping national politics.
Political observers note that the Kisii region, traditionally overlooked in certain national projects, is now asserting its political and economic voice.
Omongeni’s remarks could influence the government’s approach to regional development while strengthening Matiangi’s political profile ahead of the 2027 elections.
With the SGR project being a flagship initiative under the current administration, Kisii’s push for inclusion may become a significant talking point in national debates.
For now, Omongeni has made it clear: Kisii will not be sidelined, and the community is united behind Fred Matiangi as their presidential choice.
