Nairobi senator Mike Sonko has demanded that former Gatanga MP, Peter Kenneth, apologises to his family, president Uhuru Kenyatta, his mother Mama Ngina, and the entire Jubilee Party team.
During an interview on a national television, the Nairobi gubernatorial aspirant warned that Kenneth was not in a better position to vie for any elective post, on a Jubilee ticket.
According to him, he opposed Kenyatta's 2013 presidential bid, and called him a 'criminal', just to see him out of the race to State House.
Sonko said Kenneth had no respect for the president, and did everything possible to see Jubilee defeated, a move that made his family (Sonko), and Kenyatta's, shade tears.
"He must apologise to my wife, my children, the president, and the president's mother. He was asked to support the president in 2013, but he called him a criminal, making us to shed tears. How can he come, saying he wants a Jubilee party ticket? Where was he when we were forming Jubilee?'' he said, Sunday.
The senator further vowed never to step down for Kenneth, saying he would rather quit politics.
Kenneth who opposed Uhuru in 2013, has declared interest to unseat governor Dr Evans Kidero, on a Jubilee party ticket.
Sonko however pledged to 'deal with him'.
Kenneth has since said he had no problem with any of his rival's saying nominations would determine who would vie for the post, in Jubilee.
