Speaking in Nyankore, Kuria West Constituency, Migori County, Matiang'i urged opposition leaders to handle disagreements through dialogue and mutual respect, stressing that he remains actively involved in discussions with key principals.

"Ninataka kuomba kwa unyenyekevu viongozi, hii safari ya kuunganisha upinzani itachukua muda, ni ndefu. Tunataka kuenda hii safari kwa mapenzi na heshima kwa viongozi wote. Na kama kunatokea jambo lolote, tutazungumza. Nipee nafasi niongee; niko na njia na niko kwa meza na wale tunazungumza nao," Matiang'i said.


Matiang'i acknowledged that some recent public statements by opposition leaders may have been influenced by frustration over the country's current state but maintained that the coalition remains committed to finding common ground.

"Ata ukiona mmoja wetu amezungumza hivi, labda ni kwa sababu ya uchungu ule tumesikia vile nchi yetu imeharibiwa. Niko na imani kwa kila mmoja wa wenzangu wale tuko nao kwamba tutafikiana kwa sababu Wakenya wanataka tuwe pamoja," he said.

 The former Interior Cabinet Secretary also urged opposition principals to exercise caution in their public remarks and allow internal consultations to continue without escalating tensions. 

“Niko na imani na kila mmoja ya mwenzangu wale tuko nao kwamba tutafikiana kwa sababu Wakenya wanataka tuwe pamoja. Na naomba viongozi tuzungumze pole pole katika mambo haya. Kama ni principal nitazungumza na hawa wenzangu na nina imani tutasikizana.”


 Matiang'i expressed confidence that ongoing engagements among opposition leaders will eventually produce consensus, insisting that unity remains the opposition's ultimate objective in response to what he described as Kenyans' desire for a united opposition.
