Kitutu Chache South MP Richard Onyoka and his Bomachoge Chache counterpart Simon Ogari have been challenged to apologise to the Gusii community and Cord supporters if they want to be re-elected in the 2017 general election.
Speaking in Nyamira on Sunday when he opened party offices, Cord co-principal and Ford-Kenya leader Moses Wetangula said the two have come back home to Cord, but challenged them to face the community and apologise more so to the Cord supporters over their past association with Jubilee.
“Jubilee has nothing good to offer to Kenyans. Even when our two brothers went away, they found nothing and have come back home. We welcome them back but we also ask them to face the residents and apologise if they want to ask for their votes again,” Wetangula said.
“We also call upon those who have found it difficult in Jubilee to cross over to Cord since we are the better option for the country,” he added.
The Bungoma Senator insists that only Cord will address the challenges facing Kenyans but the only way of achieving this is by voting Jubilee out in 2017.
Onyonka and Ogari had been associated with the Jubilee under the Obomo Bwo Mogusii initiative and even campaigned for the party in the Nyacheki by-election in which the ODM candidate won.
But the two returned to the Orange party during the National Delegates Conference that was held at the Bomas of Kenya in Nairobi in October.
