Democratic Action Party–Kenya (DAP-K) leader Eugene Wamalwa and Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka expressed their delight after receiving a warm reception from residents of Githunguri, Kiambu County.

The leaders were touring the agricultural heartland during a visit, as shared through a post on Monday morning by the DAP-K leader.

The two leaders, accompanied by several officials, spent part of their time interacting at a rural dairy farm, sharing in laughter and light-hearted moments that underscored the warmth of the community’s hospitality.

Wamalwa took to social media to laud the people of Githunguri for their warm hospitality, saying he and Kalonzo thoroughly enjoyed visiting the local church and homes in the area.

"Thank you Githunguri,Kiambu,for your wonderful hospitality. My brother, Kalonzo Musyoka, and l really enjoyed your warm welcome to your Church and your homes," he said.

The visit also provided an opportunity for the leaders to engage directly with farmers and families who were eager to share stories about their livelihoods and local traditions.

One of the memorable moments during the visit came as the leaders stood alongside a cow shed, where dairy cows grazed peacefully.

Wamalwa was seen laughing and interacting with locals and officials around the farm setting, capturing the simplicity and charm of rural life.

The bleating of livestock drew a light-hearted connection in Wamalwa’s remarks, as he nostalgically referenced his friend Professor Ngome and the Agano Party symbol.

In his post, Wamalwa likened the bleating of the sheep to the symbol of the Agano Party.

"We saw firsthand the famous dairy cows and sheep whose bleating reminded me of my friend Prof Ngome’s Agano Party symbol," he posted.

The Agano Party is a registered political party in Kenya, originally founded in 2006 by former Presidential candidate David Mwaure Waihiga to offer an alternative political voice focused on integrity and people‑centred leadership. 

The party continues to be active in Kenya’s multiparty democracy and is registered with the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties (ORPP). 

A distinctive aspect of the Agano Party is its symbol: the lamb.

According to the ORPP registry, the lamb is officially recognised as the party’s emblem.

In political symbolism, especially within the Kenyan context, the lamb is understood to represent ideas such as meekness, blamelessness and reconciliation.

The use of this symbol conveys the party’s commitment to servant leadership, moral integrity, and unity, echoing the meaning of the word agano itself — which means “covenant” or a solemn pledge to the people.

Wamalwa’s mention of Prof Ngome and the symbolic lamb was an affectionate nod to the idea of unity and shared purpose, echoing themes of reconciliation and community values that are at play in many parts of Kenya’s political and social discourse.
