Dagoretti North MP Simba Arati now says he is an equal to his ODM party boss Raila Odinga after installation as Gusii community spokesperson.
Hours after taking the crown, Arati slammed his opponents insisting that he was ready to 'inspire' the community at national politics.
"I am now playing a Raila league. Just like his dominance in Luo land, I have also reached that level," he said.
The second term legislator said: "Those unhappy with the move should be ready to work with me. I have been mentored by him (Raila) and I believe in my abilities."
Apparently, his installation has caused jitters among local politicians who are said to be quietly opposing him.
Elders from the region led by James Matundura, had however warned Arati of unspecified consequences on his decision to be crowned as spokesperson.
