Deputy President William Ruto has long been seen as the biggest political critic to NASA leader Raila Odinga since they parted ways after the 2007 elections.
Alego Usonga MP Samuel Atandi has warned Ruto of dire consequences if he keeps on been disrespectful to Odinga.
Atandi gave this warning on Sunday, noting Ruto "has no manners as he referred to Raila as an uneducated leader".
"Everyone knows the Opposition leader is a qualified engineer," said Atandi.
"We will not entertain Ruto's continuous attacks on our party leader as he is not his equal under any circumstances."The MP said Ruto should respect Odinga because he mentored him politically and his bad utterances to the opposition chief will just curse the DP.
"When Raila was lecturing at the University of Nairobi, William Ruto was selling chicken in Sigoi. For Ruto to purport to know Raila's education background is foolhardy," said Atandi.
The MP further told the DP that "it is the uneducated leader" who fought for the democracy he is enjoying.
