Siaya Senator James Orengo has asked Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen to respect opposition chief Raila Odinga.
Orengo who has for long been a close family and political friend to Raila said the opposition leader's political game plans are too far stronger than Murkomen's adding that the Senate Majority Leader may never in life attain the political achievements Raila has managed to get.
"Mau Forest evictions are going on and he has no answer but to blame Raila Amollo Odinga. He knows Raila does not control the military and the police and continues saying that Raila is the one evicting people from Mau Forest," Orengo said on Sunday amid applause.
He made the remark in Busia in a video posted on the Bunge La Busia County Facebook Page.
"He must know that the league Raila is playing is far above where he will ever reach in his life. I was very impressed when you (Raila) went to South Africa and I was seeing you hand in hand with the president of South Africa Cyril Ramaphosa. Tell Murkomen to go to South Africa and we see where he will get to."
"Tell him to ask Kibaki who Raila is. Even [Deputy President] William Ruto has begun to know who Raila is. When he is sleeping, he knows who Raila is."
Murkomen last week blamed Raila for the current Mau Forest eviction in which thousands of families were evicted from Kenya's largest water tower.
Murkomen said the plan to evict Mau Forest families was reached after Raila met President Uhuru Kenyatta on March 9, 2018 in Nairobi.
