A number of politicians allied to DP William Ruto took to social media to express their displeasure with Raila’s sentiments.
Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria sounded off on the ODM leader’s comment stating that the Jubilee team had worked too hard to win the 2017 election only for Raila to dictate on how the government should be run.
“Today Raila is the one commanding our bedroom telling us who will remain and who will go. I refuse to board. As Ngugi wa Thiongo would say, ‘Ngahika Ndeenda’ (i will marry when I want)”
He also referenced the Mbele Iko Sawa campaign wagon which sought to mobilise their supporters to vote in the repeat election held on October 26, 2017.
