Mombasa Women Representative Mishi Mboko has accused President Uhuru Kenyatta of disrespecting NASA presidential flag bearer Raila Odinga, whom she termed a respected statesman.
Speaking during an ODM rally in Likoni on Monday, Mboko who is eying the constituency's MP seat said Raila has been justified in his criticism of the government and should not be insulted."How can a whole President stand up to insult Baba (Raila)? Raila has never been wrong in his criticisms of the government. Raila will not answer you but Kenyans will do that on 8th August," said Mboko in response to Uhuru's recent response to Raila over claims that Jubilee is planning to use the military to rig elections.Mboko claimed the Coast region has not benefited in any way from the Jubilee government, and urged residents to reject Uhuru and instead rally behind Raila."We cannot be deceived all the time. We can't vote for the government that abandons us. We must elect someone who has our interests at heart and that is Raila Odinga,” she added.
