We thought it is over, but it seems not yet done! Former Harambee Stars footballer McDonald Mariga’s Kibra parliamentary candidature has continued to spark debate not only on social media, but also from activists.
Activist Boniface Mwangi who was appearing on KTN News’ point blank show on Wednesday night has accused president Uhuru Kenyatta and and his deputy Dr William Ruto of playing around with the lives of Kibra people.
The activist says the president and his deputy were wrong to impose Mariga to the people of Kibra.
Mwangi says the two leaders do not mean any good to Kibra people by imposing to them a person who cannot communicate, cannot legislate, cannot lead and has no papers.
He says Mariga cannot not even get employed at Brookside company as a cleaner, since papers are needed for any job at the company.
He further accused Mariga of faking his age and not being able to vote after all.
According to the human rights activist, President Kenyatta would have given Mariga a job at K24 as a football pundit instead of forcing him to Kibra people.
Mwangi’s statement comes a day after ODM party members raised concerns over what they claimed as Jubilee party’s plans to rig the upcoming November 7 by-elections.
The Raila Odinga-led party had to meet IEBC officials on Wednesday morning demanding the updated Kibra register of voters, where it was agreed that the register will be available next week.
