President Uhuru Kenyatta should drop Mumias East MP Benjamin Washiali from his Jubilee Western Kenya campaign team due to his ‘unprofessionalism’ in politics.
The outspoken MP has been a key point’s man for the Jubilee government in the hostile Western Kenya region.
And political scientist Gideon Mamboleo believes the MP will do more harm than good to Jubilee campaigns should the president continue trusting him.
“The president has no otherwise other than dropping Washiali. He is very unprofessional in his politics that that could be a very big blow to Uhuru’s Western Kenya quest,” he told the reporter.
“For instance you saw what he did today (Friday). Hiring goons to disrupt Raila Odinga who had visited the region to assess insecurity was his lowest moment. He depicts the president as someone who likes violence,” he added.
Washilai was involved in a confrontation with Kakamega governor Wycliffe Oparanya when he reportedly tried to block Odinga from addressing residents of his constituency.
