Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino has launched another scathing attack against Jubilee candidate for the Kibra by-election.
In a tweet on Thursday, Owino said that Mariga will not live up to the expectations of the residents of the constituency.
He claimed that Mariga has plans to leave to Italy upon election into the seat. He noted that residents will be denied access to the Constituency Development Fund among other privileges if they make a mistake of electing Mariga for the position.
He asked the voters to turn out in large numbers on the voting day to support Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Candidate Imran Okoth for the position. Both Imran and Mariga have intensified their campaigns in Kibra.
“Constituency Development Fund will not be managed from the offices in Italy. How will people get bursaries from Italy since Mariga is going back to Italy in January.#MarigaNumber4,” he tweeted.
The Kibra race is pitted Deputy President William Ruto’s team against Former Prime Minister Raila Amolo Odinga’s side. Ruto and Raila have accompanied their brigades to campaign rallies in Kibra.
The seat fell vacant after the death of the Former MP Ken Okoth.
Imran Okoth who happens to be the brother of the deceased lawmaker has promised to walk the footsteps of the lawmaker if elected into office when that time comes.
