OMUTHIYA – Ondonga Traditional Authority chairperson John Walenga has said traditional leaders from the Ondonga kingdom are not allowed to wear party colours or spearhead any political party activities, as they serve everyone.

Walenga, in an interview with Nampa on Tuesday, said the OTA is home to all aspiring politicians and politicians from various political parties, and the traditional leaders from various ranks serve everyone.

He said their leaders are there to serve the communities, but not lead any political functions.

Walenga said if any traditional leader is found heading any rally, they will be called in for a hearing, and the outcome will determine the way forward.

“We want to be there for everybody and represent everyone fairly,” he said.

He urged community members to report any traditional leader from OTA who is seen heading political functions.

“Traditional leaders from OTA are not allowed to openly and publicly disclose their political parties, but they can attend political events,” said Walenga. He noted that the leaders are also not allowed to spearhead any church
gatherings.
