Speaking in a campaign trail in Kilgoris on Saturday, Suna East MP Junet Mohamed called on Deputy President William Ruto to respect Azimio’s presidential election running mate, Martha Karua.
The vocal lawmaker asked the Kenya Kwanza presidential hopeful to cease demeaning the honorable Karua.
“Nimesikia amesema Raila amechukua mama mmoja hapa. Wewe wacha madharau. Heshimu wamama. Yule mama anaitwa Honorable Martha Karua. Wacha madharau tafadhali.” Said Junet Mohamed
This is following remarks made by DP Ruto on Friday, during the Embu County Economic Forum. DP Ruto had claimed that Raila had settled on Karua as his deputy out of confusion.
“Wakati walisikia tunapanga mipango ya mama mboga, na wale wote kuanzia chini tukienda juu, yule mtu wa kitandawili akakimbia kumchukua mama mmoja na kumfanya running mate wake, kwa sababu ya kuchanganyikiwa.” DP Ruto said.
The Azimio flag bearer Raila Odinga however on the hand during the unveil had noted that he chose Karua because she is a reformist and fighter.
“This woman has a beautiful soul as exhibited by her love and passion for her children and grandchildren. She will be a great co-creator and will make a remarkable first woman deputy president of Kenya,” Raila said.
