Makadara MP George Aladwa has mocked Deputy President Dr William Ruto over his continued efforts to campaign for Jubilee candidate McDonald Mariga ahead of November 7 Kibra by elections.
Speaking on Saturday, the MP questioned Ruto’s interest in the seat and confidence that he can deliver it to Mariga, arguing that the DP failed to deliver the Turbo seat which is in his backyard to Jubilee.
He pointed out that Turbo is represented by an independent MP, yet Ruto is the Jubilee Party deputy leader.
“He is coming to tell people to vote for his man yet his own Sugoi MP is an independent. The person who won in Turbo was not a Jubilee candidate (Huyu sasa anakuja kuambia watu wapigie mtu wake kura na huko kwake Sugoi mbunge wa pale ni independent. Pale Turbo mwenye alishinda si wa Jubilee),” he said.
Aladwa made the remarks during an interview on Radio Jambo on Saturday morning.
He also faulted the DP for causing too much attention in Kibra, saying that out of his eagerness to see Mariga winning the seat, he is turning a mini poll into a general election.
“This is just a by-election. When I see Ruto with choppers there I begin to wonder whether this is really a by-election (Hii ni by-election tu. Nikiona Ruto na machopper pale nashindwa hii ni by-election kweli)” he added.
The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has fronted Imran Okoth as the party’s candidate in the race.
