Days after Kitutu Masaba MP Timothy Bosire accused his perennial rival of inciting youths to plant bananas on Tombe-Magombo road due to its deteriorating condition, Shadrack Mose's team has denied the allegation.
Speaking on Sunday at Nyaronge primary school in Nyamira during a fundraiser, Mr Mose’s aide, Paul Nyakundi, refuted the claims and asked the incumbent MP to desist from trivialising sensitive issues.
He accused Mr Bosire of playing sideshows and myopic politics for failing to settle the issue with residents who were complaining of poor roads in the constituency.
“As team Shadrack, we are really sad to hear the MP is accusing our leader of stage-managing youths to plant bananas in the road. That is a pure and malicious lie,” Nyakundi said.
“The MP should not play politics with an issue as such. He should face the locals and explain why the road is still in the poor condition despite the contractors having been paid by the national government,” he added.
He said Mr Mose, who reverted to his legal business in Nairobi after emerging second in the 2013 polls, was busy filing a defamation case against the MP.
“As our supporters, just remain calm as we solve the issue through legal means. Mr Mose is filing a case and soon the MP will face us in court,” Nyakundi added.
