President Uhuru Kenyatta has chided Opposition leaders Kalonzo Musyoka and Moses Wetangula, saying their Senatorial bids were recognition of their impending defeat in the August elections.
Senator Moses Wetangula is defending his Bungoma seat. The president also understood that Kalonzo's Wiper party was putting up the name of former Vice President Musyoka for senatorial nomination.
"They know they are losing. Some know they have been offered non-existent jobs. That's why they are running for these seats," he told hundreds in Kamukuywa, during a stopover in his Bungoma County campaign swing.
He reiterated that Jubilee would win the coming elections while its opponents would remain a loyal Opposition.
Kenyatta pointed out that he and Deputy President William Ruto won in the last general elections even when they faced International Criminal Court cases when Raila Odinga and Musyoka were Prime Minister and Vice President respectively.
“Our opponents will remain where they are as loyal Opposition while Jubilee will continue to govern and transform the lives of Kenyans,” he Kenyatta said.
Uhur spoke on Sunday as he pitched for his re-election in Bungoma County where he made several stopovers to address residents after attending a church service at St Teresas of Avillah Naitiri Catholic Parish.
