Gladys Wanga has launched a scathing attack on President Uhuru Kenyatta by terming him the ‘worse’ than his father and founding President Jomo Kenyatta.
The Homabay Women Representative visited one of the seven doctors who were jailed on Monday over contempt of court at Lang’ata women prison.
She said the regime had become ‘ignorant’ of people’s basic rights and questioned the commitment of the government to end doctor’s strike.
“Uhuru has just confirmed to us that he is worse than his father Jomo Kenyatta. He is introducing dictatorial leadership and if he retains the seat, worse is still waiting for Kenyans,” she said.
“Under his government, we have seen authorities threaten professionals. He has violated the constitution not even once and that is now becoming habitual,” added the ODM Homabay County chairperson.
On Monday, a Nairobi Industrial and Labour Relations court handed in a one month sentence to officials of Doctors union after they failed to call off a strike.
Wanga was accompanied by Kitutu Masaba MP Timothy Bosire who also condemned imprisonment of the doctors.
