Education Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i was on Sunday accused of ‘misleading’ the general public on opposition leader Raila Odinga’s interests.
Barely two days after President Uhuru Kenyatta’s tour to the vote rich Gusii, had Matiangi taken campaigns on Sunday at Nyamira County.
With Nyamira Governor John Nyagarama’s security details having been withdrawn, NASA leaders who shared podium with the CS at County MP Jerusha Momanyi’s father-in-law burial accused him of intimidation.
“When your interests are catered well in Jubilee do not be inclusive. You cannot work with oppressors and extend that to local politics,” said Borabu MP Ben Momanyi.
“Intimidating NASA leaders does not add any value to Uhuru. He will still lose badly and that will be the trend all the time,” added Nyamira senator Okong’o Mogeni.
Later, Matiang’i endured difficulties when addressing the mourners with youths periodically interrupting his speech.
Nonetheless, Matiang’i, after the situation had calmed, maintained that he will always discharge hi duties in line with the law.
