Amani National Congress leader Musalia Mudavadi has now defended his Orange Democratic Movement(ODM) counterpart Raila Odinga saying that Odinga's claims of voter importation should be investigated and not dismissed as mere propaganda.
"There is nothing in Raila’s statement that threatens violence. He is merely being a good Samaritan and responsible citizen. Uhuru should instead thank Raila for sound advice," he was quoted by the Star.
The former Sabatia MP who issued a statement on Wednesday insisted that the Presidents reaction was a way of trying to paint the opposition in bad light among supporters.
He said that Jubilee had sensed defeat and was trying to intimidate the opposition and insisted that they had the right to raise issues to enable a free and fair August poll.
"When such regimes sense defeat, they resort to intimidation, threats and unorthodox means including trumped-up charges, such as Uhuru is alluding to, to imprison competitors," the ANC leader said.
"I do hope Uhuru’s was a slip of the tongue and not a Jubilee plot to curtail constitutional freedoms and rights under pretext of cracking down on hate speech," he added.
