Former Nairobi Women Representative Rachel Wambui Shebesh has revealed what President Uhuru Kenyatta told her when she joined his now defunct The National Alliance (TNA) from Raila Odinga's ODM.
Speaking during the funeral of her father Samuel Mbugua at Kirigiti in Kiambu, Shebesh said Uhuru warned her not to discuss about his former party leader, Raila.
"I was shocked when the President told me not to tell him anything about Raila and his wife Ida. He said he knew more about them than I did since they were their good family friends. He told me to just tell him why I was leaving ODM," she said.
Shebesh, former ODM nominated MP, ditched former Prime Minister's party for TNA in October 2012.
"I switched political parties to one with a realistic agenda for women and youth," she said.
The former MP expressed confidence that the President would retain power after October 26 repeat election.
"Uhuru has demonstrated courage in adversity, and that he is ready to for another term to continue with his transformational agenda," Shebesh added.
She also cautioned politicians from the political divide against dividing Kenyans along ethnic lines ahead of the fresh presidential poll.
