With the recent Western tour by Cord leader, Raila Odinga that did not turn out as planned in some areas, some members of parliament feel it is not safe to tag along with the leader anymore.
The Alego Usonga MP Omondi Muluan has said that he never attends Cord rallies as he is trying to avoid being heckled or insulted.
The MP was speaking on Monday at his Alego Usonga constituency.
The MP went ahead to say that the crowds at times turn rowdy because they deserve the leaders to give them cash, something he said he does not have much of.
‘‘In the few rallies I have attended, youths always ask me to give them something small, if not, they heckle me,’’ said Usonga.
The MP has said that that is the main reason why he will never accompany Raila to the rallies.
“I have to walk around with more than Sh200,000 to manage youths in most of Raila’s functions. I have to give them at least Sh200 each. I can’t manage such an amount and Raila is always in functions,” he said.
The last time the leader attended a Cord rally was early last year in Siaya County and he vowed that that would be the last time.
