The National Assembly Majority Leader Aden Duale has said that only his wife, children President Uhuru Kenyatta, his deputy William Ruto and NASA leader Raila Odinga can intimidate him.
Speaking on Thursday, the lawmaker said that other leaders in the nation should respect him.
He was speaking in reference to Mau eviction.
“I won’t be intimidated into silence, Madam Speaker. If anything, the only people who can intimidate me besides my wife and children are President Uhuru Kenyatta, Deputy President William Ruto and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga,” said Mr Duale.
This comes after the Departmental Committee on Environmental and Natural Resources recommended that the members should tour the region to access the situation on the ground.
Duale also asked members of the press not to ignore certain powerful persons behind the Mau issue when reporting.
The issue of Mau has continued to elicit mixed reactions from different leaders.
A section of leaders from Rift Valley region led by Senator Kipchumba Murkomen has been opposing the issue with the strongest terms possible.
The senator once confronted officers who he suspected of being behind the evictions.
The Former Prime Minister Raila Amolo Odinga is among the leaders who have been very vocal about the Mau issue.
