Suba North MP Millie Odhiambo has accused Deputy President William Ruto of holding political grudges over comments she perceives targets her community.
The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) MP made the comments on Sunday at the tail end of K24’s Punchline show when she was asked what she thinks of DP Ruto’s ability to lead the country.
“I would say Ruto needs to work on certain issues. He holds grudges…He needs to stop talking about “hawa watu wa kung’oa reli,” said Odhiambo.
The Suba North MP said that Dr Ruto does not endear himself to her because of the alleged ethnic bias.
“When you are in politics, there is no rear view mirror. In the last election, I did say unpleasant things against Uhuru but now I am saying nice things about him,” said Ms Odhiambo.
She used the opportunity to praise her ODM leader, Raila Odinga, saying he does not hold grudges and affirmed her support for his handshake with President Uhuru Kenyatta.
