President Uhuru Kenyatta has defended his recent outburst, saying people should be called what they deserve.
Uhuru was largely criticised after he used abusive language towards Turkana governor Joseph Nanok, when he toured Lodwar, last week.
He also issued threats to doctors during the Fourth Annual Devolution Conference, in Nakuru.
Critics questioned his presidential suitability, saying he should have controlled himself, and show respect towards the country, by using friendly language.
However, while in Mombasa over the weekend, the Jubilee party leader said he was not sorry about the outbursts, and owe nobody an apology.
"People should be called who they are. If they are wrong, they should be told they are wrong so as to rectify their mistakes. I have no reason to apologise to anyone, for criticiising someone. Let's tell each other the truth,'' Uhuru said.
He further warned his critics from telling lies to the electorates, for political mileage.
