"As Maa community leaders, we will take bold steps to restore peace and unity of our people. “The current times demand a departure from the past where Maa leadership was personality-driven and cultic, the consequence of which is that much attention was placed on the personality and not the collective Maa community interests. The three Maa counties stand to benefit from being hosts of the country's largest game parks such as Maasai Mara National Reserve(Narok), Amboseli(Kajiado)and Samburu National Park in Samburu. However, Mr Odinga and his lieutenants have remained confident that the Maa nation is still in their fold. In the 2022 Presidential vote, Mr Odinga managed to beat President Ruto in all the three Maa counties of Narok, Kajiado and Samburu by over 50 percent.
