Ex-Kitutu Masaba MP Timothy Bosire has termed Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i as 'desperate immigrant' with the war of words between the duo escalating.

At a function in Nyamira last week, Matiang'i hailed locals for voting out 'anti-development' Bosire during August polls.

"I want to thank you for kicking him out of office. We must only entertain leaders with development record," he said.

Bosire, who also doubles as ODM National Treasurer, is a persistent critic of President Uhuru Kenyatta and Jubilee administration.

And on Thursday, Bosire slammed Matiang'i as an immigrant and warned him against meddling in local politics.

"This man does not even vote in Kitutu. He is a desperate immigrant who was accommodated in our neighborhood," he said.

Apparently, both NASA and Jubilee local leadership have been critical of the powerful minister whose family is believed to be from the neighbouring Kisii County.
