Former Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale has responded to a Twitter user who had branded Deputy President William Ruto all manner of names.
The Twitter user Jacob Okal who describes himself as a human rights activists and voter had hit out at Khalwale for declaring his support for DP Ruto.
"How a sane person support a thief, someone who has plugged this country into irreversible economic turmoil! Boni u r cursed , look beyond the handouts, this guy is Kenyan enemy #1 he sld be stoned to death at Uhuru park at noon to set as an example to the thieves (sic)," reads Okal's tweet tagged along with a video from a political rally in which the former legislator declared his support for the DP.
Khalwale while reacting to the tweet, reminded Okal about the meaning of democracy in a country.
"All these descriptive words that u are using here are meant to express ua disgust for my withdrawal of support for ua hero. Sir, take it easy! Democracy does not mean supporting @RailaOdinga, it's about the right of freedom to vote for the candidate of ua choice, (sic)" Khalwalwe tweeted in response.
The former Ikolomani MP dumped Ford Kenya party for DP Ruto's team in what he said the DP "was a front-runner who was going to win" the 2022 presidential election.
